Lucy Announce ROCKAROLLICA III Album with Countdown Track Reveals
After two decades away from live performances, legendary Visual Kei act Lucy is making a triumphant return—and they're doing it in style. The trio, featuring vocalist/guitarist Hisatoshi Imai, bassist Kiyoshi, and drummer Tatsunari Okazaki, has announced an extensive rollout for their third studio album *ROCKAROLLICA III*, arriving April 23, 2026.
**Countdown to the Full Tracklist**
Lucy will reveal all 13 album tracks one by one via their official social media, building anticipation ahead of release day. Two singles have already dropped: "PUNK THE LUCY" (April 1) and "からっぽの宇宙." ("Empty Universe," April 8). The remaining 11 tracks will debut exclusively through this countdown campaign—a creative way to engage fans and drum up excitement for what's shaping up to be one of 2026's most anticipated Visual Kei releases.
The album arrives in three formats: Limited Edition A (CD + Blu-ray, ¥5,500), Limited Edition B (CD + DVD, ¥5,500), and Standard Edition (¥3,400). Each retailer—Tower Records, HMV, Rakuten Books, 7-Eleven, and Victor Online Store—offers exclusive A4 clear files with different designs.
**The Return: Lucy Show 003 Tour**
To commemorate the album and their comeback, Lucy launches *Lucy Show 003 ~Shout, Speed, Shake Your Rockarollica~*—their first tour in 20 years. Nine shows across eight cities kick off April 26 in Kawasaki and culminate May 24 at Tokyo's EX Theater Roppongi. Tickets (¥8,800) are available now through major ticketing platforms.
**Reissues & Archive Content**
Victor Music is remastering and re-releasing Lucy's first two albums (*ROCKAROLLICA* and *ROCKAROLLICA II*) on April 10, complete with a special campaign: fans who purchase all three albums can enter to win signed merchandise from each member, custom t-shirts illustrated by artist Shōu Tajima, and more.
Additionally, Lucy will premiere three archival live films on YouTube—performances from 2006's *Lucy Show002* at Shibuya's Unit and Studio Coast venues (April 11 & 18), plus a director's cut remaster (April 4). Note: these streams won't be archived afterward.
Lucy's melodic yet heavy approach—blending punk aggression with theatrical flair—made them essential listening for '00s Visual Kei fans. This return is unmissable. Secure your album and tour tickets now.
