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 a wonderful remix that makes me wish time would stop and let me be in this music… I feel so happy, and it’s the best feeling ever. 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.

Satoko Shibata

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.
