In September 2018, the band released a track entitled “Haikei VAP-dono” (with Daisuke playing drums), to announce their departure from VAP to sign a new record deal with Warner Music Japan . A series of shows in October and November 2018 were cancelled due to Daisuke suffering a herniated disc . In November 2018, they released a music video for “Korekara no Menkata Kotteri no Hanashi wo Shiyou”, which commented on fans’ negative response to Maximum the Ryokun’s dramatic weight loss. An EP also titled Korekara no Menkata Cottelee no Hanashi wo Shiyou was released on November 28, 2018. On May 5, 2019, the band made a surprise appearance at the Viva La Rock 2019 festival, announcing that they would resume live performances and launch a June 2019 tour of Japan.
