DAVID has unveiled a new chapter for their 5th anniversary, which includes a tour and a new concept single release!
The project's latest work, entitled Messiah, is based around the concept of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. As such, Messiah -Kyuyakunushi- (Messiah -旧約主-), will be released on April 13th in two types; the regular edition will feature 4 new tracks, and the deluxe edition will feature a DVD with footage from David's 5th anniversary/SUI's birthday live performance at Takadanobaba club Phase on January 23rd.

To celebrate 5 years as a solo artist, David has organized a new oneman tour to promote the single's release. The Kyuyakuseisho (旧約誓書) tour will span from April 9th to June 29th, and it has its own webpage where more upcoming information is revealed. Among the regular Joint Artists supporting David will be none other than special guest guitarist You. (Scarlet Valse) and bassist TO-RU (澄) (ex-DEXCORE) on certain dates throughout the tour.
The tour dates and venues are as follows:
-
April 9th at Ikebukuro harevutai
-
April 13th at Sapporo Crazy Monkey
-
April 22nd at Sendai Space Zero
-
April 23rd at Niigata RIVERST
-
May 8th at Umeda Narciss ※male/female-only 2 performances same day

-
June 3rd Imaike CLUB 3STAR ※special performance
-
June 5th at Shinsaibashi AtlantiQs ※2 performances same day, also at KANSAI ROCK SUMMIT
-

There will also be some venue-limited privilege CDs that will be sold throughout the tour, such as a revised version of David's mini-album(s), Souseiroku (創生録) (it's unclear if it's part I or II, but let's assume it may be either one), and Seisho (誓書), another CD which will come in two types (?) that will be sold separately. These releases are limited to attendees who purchase type A tickets on certain dates of the tour; type B tickets are also eligible to only receive the Souseiroku (創生録) CD on April 9th. Details on the contents of either CD are unknown at this time.

In the tail-end of the tour are two special performances featuring other notable acts! David will perform alongside MEME and MISUI (ミスイ) on May 29th at Shin-Yokohama LiT and with MEME and NETH PRIERE CAIN on June 3rd at Imaike club 3star. Additionally, David will have two separate performances, both at Urawa Narciss on May 8th, one for male fans and the other for female fans; the project will also perform twice on the same day on June 5th, as David will take part in the KANSAI ROCK SUMMIT festival.
To top it all off, according to the tour page, David seems to hint at a tour final on an unannounced date, along with the release of another new single! As Messiah consists of two parts, the second single, which would most appropriately be titled Messiah -Shinyakunushi- (Messiah -新約主-) is expected for release this summer.
