ako’s new song “Tokimeki” will be released on November 13th! A music video will also be released!


Singer-songwriter ako (pronounced: Eiko) released her new song “Tokimeki” on November 13th, and the music video was released.

“Tokimeki” is an up-tempo, somewhat sad love song that vividly recalls the dazzling love patterns and heartbeats of days gone by. The lineup includes Neko Saito, known for his collaborations with Ringo Shiina, on the violin, Masato Honda, formerly of T-SQUARE, on the saxophone, Eikichi Yazawa on the trumpet, and Luis Valle, who has participated in recordings and live tours with the Gospellers, Tomoyasu Hotei, and others. Inviting musicians, the song has a pop sound with a dashing feel.

A music video was also released on his YouTube channel. Directed by Shun Takeda. Set in a foggy grassland, the worldview matches the song, with one-shot-style footage showing A-ko performing various actions. I hope you enjoy it along with the music.

To commemorate the release, a share campaign has been decided. 40 people will be selected by lottery to win a tokimeki card by playing and sharing a-ko’s “Tokimeki” songs on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, LINE MUSIC, and YouTube Music, and sharing and applying on SNS within the period. It’s true. The campaign will run from the release date until 23:59 on November 27th, so don’t miss out.

A-ko has also decided to hold her biggest tour “a-ko LIVE TOUR 2025 “LOVE PROPHET”” in Tokyo and Osaka from January 2025. Tickets are currently being accepted on an official (first come, first served) basis. Please check the website and SNS and don’t miss Ako’s live performance.
