Novelbright OFFICIAL SITE

A tribute to classic songs, my first voice in my 30s.

Novelbright 's vocalist, TAKENAKA YUDAI will release his second solo cover album, "DIVA 2," on February 3rd, 2027, following the release of his first solo cover album, "DIVA," in January 2026!

The title "DIVA" comes from the fact that ever since she started singing, she has aspired to be like a "DIVA," meaning a diva.

The tracks on this album are comprised of songs by female artists who have influenced her, and it is a work that re-presents the overwhelming vocal ability and expressiveness she has cultivated as a vocalist through timeless classics that have been loved for generations.

The released jacket artwork, once again created by Takeshi Matsuda of quia, features a water motif, a departure from the previous work. The transparency, fluidity, and mystery of water are projected onto the figure itself, resulting in an image that makes it seem as if the water 'DIVA' has descended into the real world.

The visuals, which reflect the title of the work "DIVA 2," convey an overwhelming beauty and expressiveness that transcends gender and existing images.

This is a superb album filled with the first vocals of TAKENAKA YUDAI in his 30s, expressing both his respect for the "DIVA" he has always admired and his own new image as an artist.

Furthermore, a tour featuring "DIVA 2," titled "TAKENAKA YUDAI DIVA TOUR 2027-2028," has also been announced!
