Universal Music LLC (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Takashi Fujikura / Universal Music) will release timelesz’s 27th single “because” on Wednesday, November 20th. It will be released on.
timelesz has been attracting a lot of attention with their new member audition “timelesz project –AUDITION-” which began streaming on Netflix in September.
This work is the 27th single released under the name timelesz, and will be released in 4 formats: first limited edition A, first limited edition B, regular edition, and UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE limited edition. This work was created by sharing ideas with all members. Based on what the three of us discussed, Fuma Kikuchi wrote the lyrics, Satoshi Matsushima devised the choreography, and Masaru Sato was involved in the production of the music video, making this the first and last single by the three-member group that was created with more heart than ever before. .
The title song “Because” was also used as the theme song for TV Asahi’s Osidora Saturday’s “Why We Love You”, in which Kikuchi stars, a character in the drama who is timid about taking a new step in love. It is a love song with a sad yet gentle melody that describes the world view that is close to the hearts of the girls, as well as the lyrics that express gratitude and feelings for the fans and those who support them. In addition to songs common to all forms, the coupling includes songs specific to each form. In addition to music videos and making-of videos, the bonus footage also includes solo versions of each member’s music videos and the usual variety show.
The UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE limited edition is an LP-sized product following the previous work “puzzle”, and the bonus video includes a LIVE digest video of the first day performance of the first national tour under the name timelesz, which was completed in August of this year. There are three major benefits for pre-ordering three types at the same time, and the first is the right to apply for timelesz’s first face-to-face fan meeting. This will be the first face-to-face fan meeting in about seven years, since it was held in 2017 after the release of “Sexy Zone 5th Anniversary Best”, and a total of 2,000 people will be invited to three rounds of lottery. All those who apply, even those who are unable to attend in person, will be able to view the archived footage that will be distributed. The second is the streaming video “’Because” Production Documentary – Our Reason”, which follows the thoughts of the three members as they brainstormed ideas and produced ‘because’. As a third gift, we will give away a set of 4 Polaroid-style trading cards with a message.
