Three-member rock band ACIDMAN divulged more information about their upcoming single “灰色の街” (“Haiiro no Machi”) which will be released June 3. It will include two discs, with not only the track itself but a live concert rip from their latest live tour 創、再現 which took place at Tokyo’s Shin Kiba STUDIO COAST last October—making this release a “super single”. This was the latest release by the group since “Millennium” back in July 2017 and will be their twenty-ninth single overall. To hype up the release as well, the band also dropped a small preview of the music video on their official YouTube channel. Shot in black in white, the video features a slow yet rising composition that sends chills down any listener’s spine, making this a song not to miss. 

Due to the uniqueness of this release there are no pre-order links internationally at the time of reporting but the single is currently available via Amazon JP. In the meantime check out the trailer for “Haiiro no Machi” below!
