Uru announces details of first album in 3 years; cover disc to include tracks by Mrs. GREEN APPLE, Ken Hirai, Eiichi Ohtaki
The tracklist has been announced for Uru's fourth full album, "tone," set to be released on February 18.
"tone" will be her first full album in three years, following the release of "Contrast" in February 2023. The album will feature 15 songs, including new tracks "Sasurai no Uta" and "Miracle," a new recording of "Yoru ga Akeru made" (provided for the Japanese Red Cross Society's "'Red Cross is on the move!' Together, we can save lives." commercial), and "Soba ni te Tsukiyo," the theme song for the film "The Guardian of the Camphor Tree," which was produced by back number. The jacket artwork features a photograph taken by Shintaro Kira.
Additionally, the video edition of "tone" will include a Blu-ray with footage from her "Uru Tour 2023 'contrast'" performance at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (Shibuya Public Hall) in Tokyo, while the cover edition will come with a CD of cover songs by Uru. Among the tracks on the cover edition CD, five will be new recordings: "Hitomi wo Tojite" (Ken Hirai), "Niji" (Masaki Suda), "Kizutsukeru" (CreepyHyp), "Shiawase na Ketsumatsu" (Eiichi Ohtaki), and "Tatoeba" (Masashi Sada).
The album track "Soba ni te Tsukiyo" was also released as a CD single today, January 28.
Uru Comment
I've made all sorts of songs up until now, thinking, "There's this kind of song, and this kind too..." and I'm truly happy to be able to deliver them to everyone as a new album.
The word "tone" has meanings like "timbre," "hue," "mood," or "shade of color," and this album features a wide variety of shades, from ballads with a deep, rich tone to bright songs with a light, pale tone. My own vocal tone also changes with each song.
As we go through our days, the color and temperature of our hearts frequently shift from day to day, and even hour to hour. I hope the songs on this album can gently resonate with the tone of your heart at any given moment.
