The album contains 18 tracks, including a special collaboration with an anime.
She is solidifying her status as a global artist, and upcoming performances are highly anticipated.
Japanese up-and-coming singer-songwriter Natori has released her new studio album 'The Abyss'. The album was made available on various online music platforms at midnight on the 21st, marking her return roughly two years after the release of her first studio album 'Theater' in December 2023. 'The Abyss' features a total of 18 tracks, including the hit song 'Propose' released in 2025 and the new track 'Serenade', which has been confirmed as the ending theme for season 3 of the anime 'My Favorite Idol'.
In reflecting on the album's release, Natori expressed, “While creating this album, I felt as if I had lost something precious.” She hopes that 'The Abyss' will serve as a comforting place for many listeners. Her music provides an emotional connection and offers a fresh musical experience.
Last year, she concluded her 'Natori Asia Tour 2025' with great success across five cities in Asia, and her first concert in Seoul sold out all tickets, underscoring her rising popularity. Natori's next performance is scheduled to take place at the Tokyo Budokan in Japan.
Natori has emerged as an artist recognized for her exceptional expressive ability, and her new album 'The Abyss' further solidifies this trait. This album showcases emotional depth and diversity that surpasses public expectations, especially with new track 'Serenade' introducing a collaboration with an anime, which is likely to broaden her fanbase further. The importance of this track lies in its potential as a significant means of interaction with her audience.
Her Asian tour served as a critical opportunity to highlight her musical prowess. It not only allowed her to introduce her musical style and narrative, but also avenue for engaging with fans from different countries, enhancing her status as a global artist. Natori's efforts contribute to a new wave in J-pop.
Moreover, Natori's music encapsulates deep emotions and stories that go beyond mere enjoyment. The album 'The Abyss' aptly represents her worldview, and she is likely to continue this emotional journey in her future endeavors.
