Pop Never Dies Releases Fourth Album 'Bye' and Announces Nationwide Tour

Pop Never Dies released their fourth major album, 'Bye', today. The band also premiered the music video for the lead single, 'Is Love This Sad?', on their official YouTube channel.

The single is a piano-rock track about a parting. The animated music video was created by designer Izumi Kanae, who has worked on several of the band's previous videos and merchandise designs.

'We make music so that partings don't just end in sorrow and loneliness,' the band commented. 'We tried to make an album that, even if you listen with your head down, helps you look ahead and feel a little lighter.'

The duo, consisting of vocalist/keyboardist Ayako Kamegai and drummer Kawamura, is known for literary lyrics and a sound they describe as 'lightly singing of impermanence.'

Pop Never Dies will support the album with a 15-date national tour, 'Bye, Bye, Bye.'. It begins on April 18 at F.A.D YOKOHAMA in Kanagawa and concludes on June 27 at Zepp Shinjuku in Tokyo.

The album 'Bye' is available on major streaming platforms. A second music video for the track 'spice' was also released.
