Shiina Ringo's new single is "Susuki ni Tsuki," also performed at Ringo Haku; selected as theme song for NHK drama starring Ayase Haruka
Shiina Ringo's new single "Susuki ni Tsuki" will be released on June 25.


This work includes "Susuki ni Tsuki," which was also performed during the arena tour "(Nama) Ringo Haku '24 - Keiki no Kaifuku -" held from October to December last year, and the new song "Matsu ni Tsuru." "Susuki ni Tsuki" is based on an original song created by Ichiyo Izawa, who is also a member of Tokyo Jihen, with his band APPA, and was reconstructed with lyrics by Shiina, music by Izawa, and arrangement by Yoichi Murata. "Matsu ni Tsuru" features lyrics by Shiina and music and arrangement by Izawa.
Furthermore, "Susuki ni Tsuki" has been chosen as the theme song for the drama "Hitori de Shinitai," which will begin airing on NHK General TV starting June 21. "Hitori de Shinitai" is based on the manga of the same name by Curryzawa Kaoru. It depicts the story of Yamaguchi Narumi , a single woman in her late 30s, who begins to search for "how to live better in order to die better" after the lonely death of her aunt, who was a career woman. The cast includes Ayase Haruka, Sano Hayato, Yamaguchi Sayaka, Koseki Yuta, Tsunematsu Yuri, Mitsushima Shinnosuke, Kunimura Jun, and Matsuzaka Keiko.
Additionally, "Susuki ni Tsuki" will be pre-released digitally on June 22, ahead of the CD release.
