"I wrote it with the image of unrequited love that I can never catch up with" official interview for 45th single "Soushi Soai" released!

The official interview for aiko’s 45th single “Soushi Soai” has been published on the aiko official website.

“Soushi Soai”, which is the theme song for the movie “Detective Conan: Million Dollar Michishirube”, which is currently being shown as a big hit, has been a hot topic of conversation, sweeping the music charts since its release. However, the single released includes the pairing songs “Masaka Yume” and “Anata wa Yasashii.”

In the official interview released this time, a lot of behind-the-scenes stories about the production of the recorded songs are told. In an interview, Aiko said about mutual love, “The melody and lyrics of the chorus suddenly came to me while I was walking down the hallway at home.From there, I distilled the feelings contained in the chorus and made it into a song.” The B melody has the phrase “Everything is in the sea, words and fingers are all shattered,” so some people might think it’s a song about heartbreak, but I like it. I wrote this with the image of the unrequited love you have for someone that you will never be able to overcome.No matter how much you love someone, everything will never fit together like a puzzle. I feel like the words “I can’t be you” contain the feeling that I love you so much that I can’t help but feel anxious about you.” The interview is worth reading, with questions about what was produced to incorporate the song.

The first limited edition of this work will come with a Blu-ray or DVD containing footage from the aiko Live Tour “Love Like Pop vol.23” @2023.9.27.wed NHK Hall. In addition, as a bonus video, aiko’s special backstage video “25th anniversary day behind the scenes” celebrating the 25th anniversary of her debut in 2023, and the fan club “Baby Peenats” & mobile site “Team aiko” held on December 24, 2023 are included. “2023 X’mas Live ~All Night Director’s Cut~” will be included in the members-only Christmas live broadcast. A distribution campaign is currently underway to commemorate the single release. Check out the aiko official website for more details.

In addition, the movie version of “Detective Conan: The Million Dollar Five Stars” x Aiko’s “Mutoshi Mutual Love” special collaboration movie is an emotional PV that weaves together the movie version of “Detective Conan: The Million Dollar Five Stars” and “Mutoshi Mutual Love.” It’s finished, so please take a look. Along with the release of the special collaboration movie, a campaign is currently underway to unravel the mysterious encrypted message received from Kaito Kid, so be sure to participate and win an original Aiko luggage tag through a lottery.

Furthermore, Aiko will appear on TV Asahi’s “MUSIC STATION” which will be broadcast from 9pm on May 10th. We are planning to sing the much-talked-about song “Soushi Soai” live, so don’t miss it.
