**Catharsis** (カタルシス) is SKY-HI's 2nd album. It was released on January 20, 2016 in 3 editions: CD only and 2 CD+DVD editions with different contents.

## Background and release

> Turn upside down the negative emotions lurking in your mind.
>
>
> The 2nd album "Catharsis" is like a movie!
>
>
> The word "catharsis" in the title means "purification of feelings" or "release of negative feelings". The theme of this album is to "talk" about "death".
>
>
> The music, however, is a variety of tracks and songs that open the door wide open.
> It is easy to listen to and easy to get into, but it is also an entry point that draws you in with gusto.
> This is a piece that will touch your heart. We hope you can feel SKY-HI's message.
>
>
>
> I will prove the meaning and value of your life with this music.

On February 3, a few weeks after the album's release, SKY-HI made the following comment:

> Nice to meet you if it's the first time we meet, and thank you as always if my gratitude is due.
>
>
>  I think I did a really good job with the album "Catharsis" and I am very happy with the results and the recognition I received. I will say it again and again, thank you very much.
>
>
>  I hope that the lives of all of you who have received this album are better than before.
>
>
>  Without being proud, but never more humble than necessary, I will take it in stride, turn the recognition into confidence, and move on immediately.
>
>
>  First of all, I will put on a great live show and make the concert hall tour a success. I will also write new songs immediately. No, I have already started.
>
>
>  I will definitely become bigger and bigger and go to repay you. I will devote myself to be a man who you will be glad to support.
>
>
>  Last but not least, to all of you who have commented, to the participating beatmakers, to those who have tweeted, and to those who have found your way to this page, thank you so much.
>
>
>
>  I would like to close with love, gratitude, and respect.
