■ “I hope this song will accompany you in special moments with your loved ones” (Kouhei Matsushita)

Kohei Matsushita has announced that he will release his new single “Aishiterutte Itte Mitte Iikana” on November 6th. His latest artist photo has also been released.

“I Love You” is a gem of a love song that fully displays Matsushita’s charm as a singer. It was produced after detailed discussions with androp’s Takahito Uchizawa, who was in charge of providing the song, and it is a song that captures the moment when you want to express the straightforward words of love “I love you” that you usually hesitate to say, overcoming the misunderstandings and conflicts that occur while walking with your partner. Matsushita’s soulful singing, backed by her skillful chorus work and roots, is a must-listen.

The new single, “Can I Tell You I Love You?” will be released in three formats: a limited edition, a first-press limited edition, and a regular edition.

The limited edition comes with a DVD containing “Kouhei Matsushita’s Location Bocchi de Sasebo-chi,” the sixth bonus project that Matsushita has done alone, including radio movies, audio commentaries, and solo camping locations, which have been implemented as bonuses for previous works. This time, the location was set in Sasebo, Nagasaki. While enjoying Sasebo alone, including the aquarium, cruising, Sasebo burgers, painting traditional crafts, go-karting, the sea of Sasebo and the beautiful sunset, he challenges various missions to get souvenirs for his fans as a token of his gratitude. It is an ultra-luxurious bonus that contains plenty of spectacular location projects with laughter and tears. In addition, the limited edition will have a special sleeve case and the attached booklet will be a special version.

The first limited edition will come with a DVD containing behind-the-scenes footage of the single’s recording, artist and jacket photo shoots, and the music video. The regular edition CD will also include bonus tracks.

The single will also include a total of four songs, including B-side songs and their respective instrumental versions.

In addition, the mini jacket key chains that were well received for the second album “R & ME” released in December 2023 will also be released for this album. It will be sold as a set product with the regular version of “I Love You” exclusively at VICTOR ONLINE SOTRE. This will be released in limited quantities. Details for each will be announced at a later date, so please look forward to further information.

In addition, postcards will be given as original bonuses for each chain of the new single “Aishiterutte Itte Mitemo Iikana,” and postcards with a printed signature will be given as a bonus to fan club members. For more details, please visit the official website.

■Comment from Kohei Matsushita
“I want to sing about love simply with my voice, guitar, and a few embellishments.”
Takahito Uchizawa of androp responded to my request and created the song “Can I Tell You I Love You?”
He was so adorable and so straightforward that I couldn’t help but smile.
I hope this song will accompany you to special moments with your loved ones.
