MAN WITH A MISSION - EP im September, neues Video & Tour
Japanese superstars MAN WITH A MISSION have announced a brand new vinyl and CD release titled “XV EP Across The Globe”, out September 19th via Sony Music Japan/Century Media Records.
The new international physical releases follow the digital release of the XV EP in March 2025 which commemorated the 15th anniversary of MAN WITH A MISSION. Exclusive for Europe and the UK, “XV EP Across The Globe” will feature a unique tracklist for both the vinyl and CD editions.
The CD will include two previously unreleased bonus tracks: never-before-heard live recordings of “REACHING FOR THE SKY” and “Vertigo.” The songs were recorded on their latest arena tour in Japan named the PLAY WHAT YOU WANT TOUR which journeyed across their homeland in February. The band have released the video for ‘REACHING FOR THE SKY’ live from this tour recorded at the K-Arena Yokohama. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-wXchI4xA4
The XV EP Across The Globe LP will be available on transparent magenta vinyl and features eight tracks pressed to vinyl for the first time as a UK and European exclusive. These include ‘REACHING FOR THE SKY’ and ‘Vertigo’ as well as the uplifting ‘Circles’ and touching rock ballad ‘whispers of the fake’. On the flip side it includes four songs from the band’s show at Pabellón Oeste del Palacio de los Deportes, Mexico City in 2024 on the ‘Kizuna no Kiseki’ world tour.
