Akane Banashi OP by Keisuke Kuwata
The single CD of Keisuke Kuwata's ``Hitotashi/Hitotarashi'', which is the opening theme song for the TV anime ``Akane Banashi'' based on the original work by Hiroki Suenaga and Takamasa Umagami, will be released on June 24th. The limited edition will include a ``Keisuke Kuwata x Akane Aragawa Jump and Shout!! Acrylic Stand''.

Unique Collaboration
``Hitotarashi'' is the first time Kuwata has been in charge of both the lyrics and composition of an anime theme song. The acrylic stand is based on an illustration drawn by Umagami for the "Collaboration Another Cover" of Weekly Shonen Jump (Shueisha) to commemorate the broadcast of the anime, and depicts Kuwata and Akane having a back-to-back guitar session in Japanese clothes. This is the first time that an acrylic stand has been made for Kuwata-related works.
