The accompanying video captures a live performance for this album, held in June 2025, set at “pejite,” an antique furniture store in Mashiko, Tochigi Prefecture, a place Moriyama frequents. “Yeeeehaaaaw” is an album that explores Moriyama’s unique style while tracing his musical influences and roots. The accompanying video includes rare, unreleased footage of live session performances of “Have You Seen the Rainbow Over That Sea?” and “Bye-Bye,” both of which have studio session music videos. Both are self-made concept albums that capture the world that Moriyama Naotaro wants to express at this point in time, from the album conception to song composition, recording, and packaging production. The album includes many popular songs, such as “Anoyo de ne,” the theme song for the film “Kaze no Majimu” starring Sari Ito, a self-cover of “Mori no Chiisana Restaurant” (“Mori no Chiisana Restaurant”) written by Aoi Teshima (included on “Yuzuruha”), and guest appearances by Yayako Uchida (who collaborated with her on “Ai no Hana ~I’m not in there~” on “Yuzuruha”) and Ryoko Moriyama (who collaborated on “Akai Tori” on “Yeeeehaaaaw”), marking their first collaboration since “Romantique.” Simultaneously with the release, a nationwide tour commemorating the two albums, “Naotaro Moriyama Two Jobs Tour 2025-26 ‘In That World’ ~”Yuzuruha” and “Yeeeehaaaaw!”~,” will begin. It has been announced that all CD purchasers at tour venues will be given a “CD-to-CD event” where Naotaro Moriyama himself will personally hand out the CD. Additionally, the album’s special website features comments from celebrities who have listened to the album early. “Yumizuruha” trailer https://img.youtube.com/vi/bkPRRegXpM4/sddefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkPRRegXpM4 “Yeeeehaaaaw” trailer https://img.youtube.com/vi/4Ac7QPY7N_4/sddefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ac7QPY7N_4 Naotaro Moriyama’s “Anoyo de ne” (In Another World), Theme Song for the Film “Kaze no Majimu” https://img.youtube.com/vi/b6nbVTZO4Cw/sddefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6nbVTZO4Cw “Alive” Music Video https://img.youtube.com/vi/tMzbIv2DfB4/sddefault.jpg

In recent years, he has expanded his activities as an actor, appearing in the NHK Saturday drama “Healing the Wounds of the Heart” and the NHK morning drama “Yell.” His acting skills have been highly praised, and he is currently appearing in the film “On the Summer Sand.” Since releasing his 20th anniversary album, “Wonderful World,” in March 2022, he has continued to release new works. The anniversary tour, “Wonderful World,” began in June of the same year and featured 100 performances nationwide, totaling 107 shows, including a bonus performance at Ryogoku Kokugikan and overseas performances. The 102nd performance, the performance at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, will be released on a live Blu-ray and DVD, as well as a live recording entitled “Naotaro Moriyama 20th Anniversary Tour “Wonderful World” in Ryogoku Kokugikan,” in November 2024. Additionally, “New World,” the theme song for the film “Where is the Wonderful World?”, which features a re-edited version of the physical version, is currently available for streaming. In 2025, they’ll be participating in numerous music festivals. Ahead of their festival appearances, two long-awaited new bluegrass-style songs, “Have You Seen the Rainbow Over That Sea?” and “Bye-Bye,” which have already been performed live, are available for download from May 23rd. Additionally, “Anoyo de ne,” the theme song for the film “Kaze no Majimu,” will be released on September 5th. Also, on October 17th, he will simultaneously release two concept albums with polar opposite sounds: “Yuzuruha” and “Yeeeehaaaaw.” From this October through 2026, he will embark on the “Naotaro Moriyama Two Jobs Tour 2025-26 ‘In Another World’ – “Yuzuruha” and “Yeeeehaaaaw!” – tour, literally “wearing two hats” as he travels the country, intertwining the stages of two different worlds. The two contrasting tours will take place simultaneously: the “Yuzuruha” tour, featuring tranquil, ambient melodies, and the “Yeeeehaaaaw!” tour, featuring vibrant acoustic music. 【Naotaro Moriyama INFORMATION】 Naotaro Moriyama Two Jobs Tour 2025-26 “In the Other World” ~”Kizuruha” and “Yeeeehaaaaw!”~ Special Site: https://naotaro-tour.com/anoyodene/ “Where is the Wonderful World?” Movie Special Site:
