The popular Tower Records NO MUSIC, NO LIFE campaign will feature rock band Spitz, celebrating 30 years since their major debut. The latest poster will be displayed at Tower Records locations nationwide starting September 14, and to celebrate the group’s new release, a special campaign was also announced.

NO VINYL, NO LIFE Poster
This will be the second time the band appears on a NO MUSIC, NO LIFE poster. Spitz will release a combination of their 1999 special album Beauties of Nature and four tracks from their indie album Hibari no Kokoro on September 15. The album will be available as a CD or as a 2-disc vinyl set. The albums Iro Iro Goromo, released in 2004, and Orutana, released in 2012, have also been announced on vinyl.
To commemorate these releases, Tower Records will be selling the MIKKE Locale stickers and bumper stickers in store, previously only available to buy online. These stickers show the names of each stop on the SPITZ JAMBOREE TOUR 2019-2020 MIKKE tour. Unfortunately, due to the cancellation of the tour due to the pandemic, the stickers were only available through mail order. Now, these rare items–some already nearly sold out–will actually be available in stores while supplies last.
A new exhibition, Spitz x Tower Records: 30 Years of History, will also take place at stores around the country. The main stores in Shibuya and Shinjuku will display the Spitz version of the NO VINYL, NO LIFE collaboration poster series, celebrating both the band’s success and the relocation and opening of Tower Vinyl Shibuya.

For the first time in over a decade, ONE OK ROCK will appear in Tower Records’ popular NO MUSIC, NO LIFE campaign. Special posters will appear at all Tower Records and TOWERmini stores starting September 3, 2022. The last time ONE OK ROCK appeared on posters for the campaign was in September 2011. The band will release its first original album in three and a half years, Luxury Disease, on September 9.

Luxury Disease was created along with producer Rob Cavallo and other overseas artists. Those who purchase the album will be entered into a drawing to win a B2-sized version of the NO MUSIC, NO LIFE poster. Entries can be submitted through the 59 participating Tower Records stores and Tower Records Online. Don’t miss your chance to get a hold of this rare poster with a special message from Taka!
