“Reebok” will be released as a 7-inch single from Satoko Shibata’s latest album, “Your Favorite Things.” It has been announced that it will be released on Wednesday, August 21st.

“Your Favorite Things,” released in February this year, is the band’s seventh album, released after a two-year hiatus. Takuro Okada is credited for co-producing and arranging. In addition to Takuro Okada, Kouki Hama, Haruna Makiyama, and Yu Taniguchi also participated in the recording. The cover artwork was photographed by Katsuhide Morimoto and designed by Kei Sakawaki.

The B-side of the “Reebok” 7-inch single also includes a remix of the song by tofubeats. According to the artist, “It’s a rainy season, so it’s a remix that’s perfect for that time of year.”

[Comment from Satoko Shibata]

I thought “Reebok” would be amazing if it could be released as a single, and now that it has been released as a 7-inch, I am so happy! And tofubeats has even done such a wonderful remix that I can’t help but wish time would stop and let me be immersed in this music… I feel so happy, one happiness after another. And the wonderful artwork this time was done by Sakawaki Kei. It’s a light and sharp development from the album “Your Favorite Things” that is super cool and amazing. I have nothing but gratitude for everyone. Thank you! I am really looking forward to it too. Please do pick it up! Thank you very much.

[Comment from tofubeats]

Seven years have passed since Shibata, whom I had never met at the time, was introduced on a TV program about his “regrets,” and Shibata remains a rare singer-songwriter, just as he was then.
It was a great honor to be offered the opportunity to remix his music and work on this project.
I was wondering which song from the latest album I would receive, when in fact it was the stem data for “Reebok.”
This 7-inch was released during the rainy season, so the remix was created to suit this time of year.
Please take your time and listen to it at home.
