MOTOHARU IWADERA, KEIICHI EJIMA, EMI OKAZAKI, and AMI KUSAKARI have been selected to compose the music for COCOON PRODUCTION 2021's "Machine Diary"

<New!> The first day of the performance has been postponed and some performances have been canceled.
Please check the performance website for details.


It has been decided that the stage music for COCOON PRODUCTION 2021's "Machine Diary" will be created by MOTOHARU IWADERA, KEIICHI EJIMA, EMI OKAZAKI, and AMI KUSAKARI.
This will be his first time working on music for a stage production.

This will be the first time that SAKANACTION was responsible for the theme song and film music and became the first rock band to win the Best Original Score Award at the 39th Japan Academy Awards.

Comment from KEIICHI EJIMA
When we were on a program together, Daikon approached me directly about this project, saying, "I was thinking about what to do about the music for my next play, and then I found a great person."
Although I don't know when or where the opportunity will come, I'm really looking forward to working with him again. This is the first time for both me and the other members to try music for the stage, but I hope that our music will play a part in the new work "Machine Diary" that Mr. Daikon and the other performers are creating.
