The cover and artist photos for “Carnival/BIG LOVE,” a collaborative single by Uchida Maaya and Uchida Yuuma, real-life siblings, which is scheduled for digital release on September 25th and release on October 30th, have been released.
The cover photo is of the first limited edition, with the elder sister Uchida Maaya leaning on her younger brother Uchida Yuuma’s shoulder, highlighting the sibling relationship, and the regular edition, with colorful streetwear outfits and sparkling confetti all around. The artist photo released at the same time is impressive with the smiling faces of the two siblings. Solo artist photos of each of them have also been released.
In addition, to celebrate the release, comments have been received from Maaya Uchida, Yuuma Uchida, and Masayoshi Oishi, who composed the song “BIG LOVE,” so be sure to check them out.
And with the YUMA UCHIDA LIVE “VS YUMA 001- Uchida Maaya” to be held at the National Hall of Pacifico Yokohama in Kanagawa on September 28th and 29th, we can’t take our eyes off Uchida Maaya and Uchida Yuma.
Comment from Maaya Uchida
Why did you take the cover photo?
It went smoothly without any discomfort.
We all thought, “Are they really brother and sister?” as we enjoyed the similar poses and atmosphere.
Moreover, I think it turned out really well.
Come and enjoy this festive atmosphere!
Comment from Yuuma Uchida
We never even dreamed that the day would come when we would produce music together.
We are working on this production with gratitude for the progress we have made so far and for all of you who have always supported us.
We put our positive side into the music, as well as the feelings that can only be conveyed through a song sung by a family.
I hope you will listen to it a lot!
Comment from Masayoshi Oishi
I have provided a song for the Uchida siblings! I hope that their great love will reach the whole world. The song is a magnificent sing-along with lyrics by Saori Kodama and arrangement by Yashikin! The harmony and dialogue between the Uchida siblings is amazing, so please look forward to it!
