Description:

This 4-song EP will be the first release of the 40th anniversary year of Hotei's career in 2021! The title track "Pegasus" is a new masterpiece that could be called a 40th anniversary theme song, with a sharp guitar riff and a powerful message that resonates in today's increasingly chaotic world. The second song, "10 Years Ago Today," is a new masterpiece with a lyrical acoustic melody. The EP also includes the RIZIN theme song "D.O.F. (Death or fight)" and a guitar instrumental cover of Kyu Sakamoto's immortal classic "Ue o muite aruko". The limited first pressing includes 29 songs and 150 minutes of live sound recordings from the "40th ANNIVERSARY Live "Message from Budokan"" held at the Nippon Budokan on January 30 and 31 this year without audience participation. There is a plan to offer a special prize by drawing lots for the inclusion of the video work that will be released at the same time.
