HY have announced that they will be releasing their new album "GLOCAL" on February 26, 2014. 

HY are currently in the middle of their live house tour 'HY TO-HAI TOUR 2013', which will run until December 7 at 7th Heaven Koza, Okinawa. Their new album announcement was made on November 27 during their concert at Shibuya CLUB QUATTRO, Tokyo. Regarding the album's title, Shinzato Hideyuki (Vo, G) commented, "It seems like an existing word, but it's a word that resulted from a cross between 'GLOBAL' and 'LOCAL'. Because most of our activities take place in Okinawa, we put in our thoughts of the theme 'from Okinawa to the world'." 

"GLOCAL" will be HY's 9th album, and it will also be their first from their new label 'ASSE!! Records'. To coincide with the album's release, they will also be holding a nationwide tour. More details on the album and tour will be announced later.
