Midnight Grand Orchestra is a Japanese musical project[1] consisting of Japanese singer Hoshimachi Suisei and producer Taku Inoue. Formed in 2022 following multiple successful collaborations between Hoshimachi and Inoue, Midnight Grand Orchestra released their first two mini-albums, Overture and Starpeggio, in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

History

[edit]

Prior to the founding of Midnight Grand Orchestra, members Hoshimachi Suisei and Taku Inoue had established a working relationship, with Hoshimachi appearing on Inoue's debut single "3:12" and Inoue in turn producing "Stellar Stellar", the first track on Hoshimachi's debut album Still Still Stellar.[2][3] On 31 March 2022, Hoshimachi and Inoue would announce Midnight Grand Orchestra's founding following a teaser shown during an online live performance for Hoshimachi's fourth anniversary;[4][5] the project's debut single, "SOS", would be released on 13 April.[1][6] On 28 April, the project announced its debut mini-album Overture for release on 27 July.[7][8][9] Following the reveal of a crossfade video previewing the mini-album's tracklist, "Highway" was released as a promotional single on 17 July.[10] Upon its release, Overture received critical acclaim[2] and modest commercial success, debuting in the top 10 on the Oricon and Billboard charts. Midnight Grand Orchestra would further promote Overture following its release with a virtual live concert of the same name on 20 August.[3]
