T-SQUARE Music Entertainment Inc. will add three new members to T-SQUARE and release and distribute their 51st original album "TURN THE PAGE!" on June 4, 2025 (Wednesday).

T-SQUARE

It has been about 4 years since Masahiro Ando (G) left the band in 2021.

The empty seat that has been warmed with unwavering musical success and honor for more than 40 years is so special that it is an isolated place where no one is allowed to sit. One might have thought that this empty seat would never be filled again.

However, T-SQUARE was lucky enough to find an exceptional candidate to fill the vacancy in 2025.

From among the applicants for the new member audition campaign announced at the 45th anniversary performance held in October 2023 at Tokyo International Forum/Hall A, T-SQUARE went through the selection process and advanced to the audition finals, and in August 2024, the audition finals live performance will be held. The decision to welcome them as official members of T-SQUARE was made after considering all the circumstances of the audition, including the live streaming, fan response, evaluation, and their participation in the new album.

They have the ability to carry on T-SQUARE's traditions and challenge new heights, a truly fateful encounter. Together with them, the new T-SQUARE will begin its activities.

The new T-SQUARE will be led by Takeshi Ito, a member of the group since its debut in 1978, and Satoshi Bandoh, who has become one of Japan's top drummers, composing and producing music that supports the backbone of T-SQUARE. In addition, bassist Shingo Tanaka, who has supported Square for many years as a support member, has joined as an official member. Two talented newcomers will join the band. The keyboardist is Yuichi Hasegawa, a student at Nagoya University's Faculty of Informatics, studying computers and majoring in music. The guitarist is Shuya Kameyama, currently enrolled in the Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Doshisha University. Both of them are very talented and active university students in the science field.

On June 4, 2025 (Wednesday), T-SQUARE's first album "Turn the Page!

Please look forward to T-SQUARE turning a new page.

In addition, T-SQUARE will be touring with this album.
