The Ravens Release 'BAND-AID' Album with Exclusive Tour Merch

The Ravens、本日配信のオリジナルアルバム『BAND-AID』ライブ会場限定スペシャルパッケージ発売決定

The Ravens are wasting no time capitalizing on momentum—their fourth album *BAND-AID* dropped today across streaming platforms, and the band has already announced a limited-edition physical package exclusive to their upcoming spring/summer tour.

For those unfamiliar, The Ravens are a Japanese rock outfit known for their dynamic sound and theatrical live presence. Coming roughly a year after their 2025 album *Ghost Notes*, *BAND-AID* packs 11 tracks including the previously released single "One More Song" and the streaming track "天国レイヴンズ" (Tengoku Ravens). The full tracklist spans everything from the title track to quirky standouts like "iPhoneとFRISK" and "The Catcher in the Mosh Pit"—a blend of introspection, humor, and raw energy.

Here's where it gets interesting: the physical edition won't be available through traditional retail. Instead, The Ravens are offering a special venue-exclusive package at all stops of their *＜THE RAVENS LIVE TOUR 2026 群像劇＞* (Group Drama Tour). Priced at ¥6,000 (~$40 USD), each package includes a CD in a 7-inch vinyl-sized cardboard jacket, plus an original steel tin case designed by HIROTTON (the artist behind the album artwork) containing three exclusive stickers. Stock is limited per venue, so early birds will have the advantage.

**Tour runs May–July 2026** across 14 cities: Kashiwa, Mito, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Saitama, Takamatsu, Kyoto, Akita, Sendai, Nagoya, Osaka, Niigata, Shibuya, and Yokohama. Tickets are ¥5,800 (~$39 USD, plus drink charge).

If you can't make the tour, *BAND-AID* is available now on all major streaming platforms. The band is also running pre-add/pre-save campaigns on Apple Music and Spotify (through May 8) offering exclusive smartphone wallpapers as a bonus.
