THA BLUE HERB 30th Anniversary Punchline Calendar

THA BLUE HERB puts a daily tear-off calendar for 2027 on sale, the year the group turns 30. Each page carries one ILL-BOSSTINO punchline. Pre-orders open November 9 at 10 AM on the TBHR ONLINE SHOP and close November 19 at 11:59 PM, or earlier if stock runs out. Price: ¥5,500. Shipping is planned for mid-December.

ILL-BOSSTINO picked the lines himself. They come from thirty years of writing under three names: ILL-BOSSTINO, tha BOSS, and BOSS THE MC. The format is small, 148 × 105 mm, postcard size. The label notes that some spellings differ from the original releases, kanji versus hiragana, for instance. The calendar is published by THA BLUE HERB RECORDINGS, the label the Sapporo group has run since its start. That independence is one reason the lyrics travel as quotes: no record company ever smoothed them out.

Four cities to end the year

The YEAR END TOUR 2026, the year-closing show the group plays every December, stops in four cities. Sapporo on December 20 at KLUB COUNTER ACTION, Osaka on the 24th at DROP in Amerika-mura, Okinawa on the 26th at Output, and Tokyo on the 29th at LIQUIDROOM. The ABEMA article lists only the first three; the Tokyo date appears on PIA and e+. Tickets have been on sale since October 1.

ILL-BOSSTINO was on the site in July with XO, his joint album with DJ KRUSH. THA BLUE HERB also played LIQUIDROOM on June 20 for ULTRA-VYBE’s 40th anniversary, alongside SHINGO★西成 and GADORO, two names RJHH covered this autumn.
