On April 4rd, GLAY released two greatest hits albums to commemorate their 23th anniversary since their debut, "DRIVE 30~1993 -GLAY complete BEST" and "DRIVE 2009~2010 -GLAY complete BEST."
This work is the successor to the best album "DRIVE -GLAY complete BEST" released in 2000.
This work is based on the theme of "Created with you and GLAY," and is an all-time best album selected from a total of 65,260 votes from fans.
A key visual has also been released to express gratitude, using the nicknames that fans registered when they voted. The visuals used on the jacket cover are all made up of fan names, so be sure to enlarge it to check out the details.
The music video for "Higan GLAY feat. Oda Kazumasa," which has been much talked about for some time and is included in the album, has been released on YouTube.
This music video was created based on the recording scene with Kazumasa Oda, and it is a work that exudes the mysterious atmosphere of the song. You can feel from the video the moment when TERU's ``long-cherished wish'' came true with Kazumasa Oda, a vocalist whom he deeply respects.
In addition, this work also includes streaming of "JULIA," the prototype of GLAY's major debut song "RAIN."
YOSHIKI (X-JAPAN) produced this demo himself, which became a hot topic at the time.
The song "JULIA" included on this release was created by GLAY's support keyboardist, Murayama Jun, who trimmed the vocal data from the demo tape, arranged it, and combined it with GLAY's current performance data to create a song that connects 1993 to 2025.
You can listen to the song by scanning the QR code in the booklet included with "DRIVE 1993-2009 -GLAY complete BEST," so be sure to experience this timeless mash-up for yourself.
In addition, outdoor displays and other initiatives are expanding with the release of the album. As part of the "GLAY x GiGO Campaign," a GLAY-themed ad truck will be installed, outdoor advertisements will be placed at GiGO Ikebukuro Building 1, and to commemorate the opening of the GLAY DRIVE MUSEUM & CAFE at SHIBUYA TSUTAYA on April 4th, the flags that were on display for purchasers of the best album will be given away by lottery to three people from each member, for a total of 25 people.
I would definitely recommend checking this out as well.
