Yukkyun will release her new single “Private Superstar” on Wednesday, August 14th.
In preparation for the release of his second album, “Urekanai Anata” on Wednesday, September 11th, Yukkyun has been releasing “Logout Bonus,” “Shuttle Bus,” and “Datte Cinderella” since May. This song is a duet with his good friend, Kimijima Sora. Composed and arranged by Kimijima Sora, the lyrics were written by Yukkyun and Kimijima. Yukkyun says, “Right now we’re like the best J-POP,” while Kimijima comments, “I couldn’t have written a song like this on my own.”
In the artwork and artist visuals, both members are wearing Tanakadaisuke’s outfits, and the photos were taken by photographer Sudo Ayano.
The two will hold a two-man live show “no public diva” at Shangri-La in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo on Friday, August 23. In addition, they will hold a live tour in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, “Yukkyun 10th ANNIVERSARY TOUR: Reborn in the Dark” to promote their album “Reborn in the Dark”.

[Yukkyun comment]
At the end of spring, I gave him just the lines I wanted to include in the song and waited for the song to arrive.
One evening, when I was tired and hadn’t done anything, I received a one-chorus demo and cried on the side of the road.
Faster than I could imagine, I heard “Private Superstar” and knew the name of the song straight away, so I wrote the lyrics that same day.
From then until the song was completed, Kimijima-kun was always better than I expected. I wondered why we met.
Right now, we’re like the best J-POP. I’m glad we’ve lived life as we are, and I’m so grateful to Kimijima for living as he is.
I want all humanity to listen to it, but how can I do that?
The rest was left to the discretion of everyone.
[Comment from Hiroki Kimishima]
All I could do was shout from wherever I was, and up until now that was the only thing that connected me to the world.
Yukkyun brought mine to light for him.
“Let’s dance even though we’re in a bad mood!”
That I wanted to hold hands and dance in the rain even though I was in a bad mood
I wanted to somehow show you the beauty of the speed at which the twilight behind you becomes thicker.
I was crying in a place I didn’t know, in a language I didn’t know, and laughing naked with friends.
I realized that like a child, I want to believe that the present is eternal.
The songs he wrote, your songs.
I couldn’t have written this song on my own.
Our song.
A song I could only write with friends.
While we are burning with passion in this world, we are undoubtedly in the midst of our youth.
