New Album from SID

Rock band SID will release a new album on March 23rd.

Umibe will contain 10 tracks, including Jiu no kuchizuke, their opening theme song for the Japanese dub of the animated series "Heaven Official's Blessing".

The album will be available in three editions. The "Poetic Edition" will feature a hardcover book design, with a 100-page booklet featuring the songs' lyrics laid out like a poetry anthology, as well as comments from vocalist Mao explaining each of the tracks. The "Artistic Edition" will come with a 40-page photo booklet instead, as well as a Blu-ray disc featuring the music videos and making-of footage for Damashi ai and Umibe. The regular edition will be CD-only.

Additional details on the release are available on this special site.
