後藤真希迎來出道第25週年　時隔13年發布粉絲們期待已久的新專輯《prAyer》

今年迎來CD出道第25週年的後藤真希，接連不斷的公布週年企劃。

時隔13年數字發布粉絲們期待已久的新曲“CLAP CLAP”，並於9月4日發布全新原創迷你專輯《prAyer》。

後藤真希發布了前年限定的翻唱專輯，這次是自2011年以來再次發布原創作品。

這首迷你專輯收錄了展示今年迎來25週年的後藤真希的“復活”和“降臨”的7首歌曲，不僅對於粉絲，對於熟知後藤真希的大家也是一部十分具有話題性的作品。

專輯的概念也從標題“prAyer”（祈禱）中展現出既堅韌又細膩的心理描寫，甚至延伸到人生觀，在每首歌曲中表達現在以及未來的後藤真希的自我。音樂風格也不執著於過去，嘗試融合不同風格交織的音樂，也有單曲“CLAP CLAP”所代表的偶像時代的抓耳旋律  ，使得這部作品更加充滿力量，展現了後藤真希成長和進化。

2024 marks the 25th anniversary of J-pop star MAKI GOTO’s CD debut, and she has been announcing a number of anniversary projects to mark the occasion. Following the digital release of GOTO’s long-awaited new single ‘CLAP CLAP’ – her first in around 13 years – she has now released a completely original mini-album, ‘prAyer’, on September 4.

‘prAyer’ is GOTO’s first long-play release since her digital covers album released two years ago, and her first all-new original work since 2011. This mini-album, which contains seven songs, marks the full-fledged return of MAKI GOTO on her 25th anniversary year, and is sure to thrill fans old and new.

From the album title ‘prAyer’ to the strong yet delicate psychological lyrics and GOTO’s own outlook on life, she sings beautifully about her experiences past and future. While incorporating a new approach to her sound that mixes multiple genres without clinging to the past, it is an ambitious album that shows she has evolved to something more powerful than the catchy sound of her idol days, as showcased by the single ‘CLAP CLAP’.
