THE SPELLBOUND × BOOM BOOM SATELLITES, the unit of Masayuki Nakano and Yusuke Kobayashi, released 'Brand New Drive' digitally on September 2. It is the first new song under the BOOM BOOM SATELLITES name in about 10 years, since 'LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME' in 2016. The same night the pair perform it in a one-take on THE FIRST TAKE. The song debuted at a free live in Shinjuku on August 24 before about 3,000 people.
BOOM BOOM SATELLITES formed in the late 1990s as a rock and electronic unit by Masayuki Nakano and Michiyuki Kawashima. Kawashima died of a brain tumor in October 2016. Nakano formed THE SPELLBOUND with Yusuke Kobayashi in 2020, and the pair began playing BOOM BOOM SATELLITES songs live under the name THE SPELLBOUND × BOOM BOOM SATELLITES.
The two said the boundary between them and the old band disappeared as they kept performing, and they came to think 'we can just make new songs.' A 12-disc box set, 'THE ALBUMS +One,' arrives September 23 with 110 songs, 'Brand New Drive' on the final disc. The memorial tour's final show is October 9.
