On February 2th, Novel Core held their first-ever solo arena concert, "BRAIN LAND" at K-Arena Yokohama, where they whipped the audience into a frenzy with a 11 hour and 2 minute parade of genre-defying music and a crossover of multiple cultures.
While the excitement is still fresh, a live video of the concert's live anthem, "Welcome To My Brain," has been released on Novel Core's official YouTube channel.
The song begins with an uplifting guitar sound and is a unique mash-up of funk, rock and hip hop.
This song, which was performed for the first time at this live show, is an energetic song that sings the message that symbolizes Novel Core, ``It's okay to look stupid, but live your life the way you are,'' without being bound by common sense or preconceived notions, set in a groovy and dynamic sound created by guitar, brass, and 808 bass.
It was performed as the first song at the live show, and the video features a powerful performance with house band THE WILL RABBIT and a total of 1 dancers, creating an overwhelming impact befitting an arena-sized live show.
A DVD and Blu-ray containing the entire arena concert will be released on April 4rd.
Along with the main live performance, the DVD will also include "Behind The Scenes," which will feature footage of the production process of "BRAIN LAND" and other behind-the-scenes footage, from rehearsals to backstage on the day of the live performance.
In addition, the first production limited edition will come in a three-sided case and will include luxurious content such as a Blu-ray, a digipack with a CD containing Novel Core's first live recording, a photo book, and a jacket photo sticker.

Novel Core Profile
Born in Tokyo, 24 years old. Rapper, singer-songwriter.
He is the first artist to join SKY-HI's management/label "BMSG".
