Trooper Salute, based in Nagoya, will release the single “Tsumetai Mermaid” on Wednesday, November 13th, ahead of their first EP Trooper Salute, set to be released on Wednesday, December 11th.
Formed in 2022 within a university light music club, Trooper Salute is a five-member symphonic indie rock band led by female vocalist Musashi. The band started performing with its current lineup in January 2024 and appeared as a guest act in May at the Japan show of American band Pohgoh, held at Nagoya’s stiffslack VENUE. In September, they expanded their reach by holding their first out-of-town two-day performance in Tokyo.
Along with the release announcement, it was revealed that a “CD Release Live” event will be held on Wednesday, December 11th, at Nagoya’s stiffslack VENUE, the same day as the EP release. The event will feature performances by Trooper Salute as well as their close friends Kagaribi, ISRISO, and Mokugyojin. All attendees who purchase the CD will receive an original postcard from stiffslack as a special gift. Additionally, it was announced that EP release events will be held at Shimokitazawa BASEMENT BAR in Tokyo on Friday, February 7th, 2025, and at Tsurumai K.D Japon in Nagoya on Sunday, March 2nd, 2025.
