HERO's First Major Single

Titled Kotae Awase, the single is scheduled for release on July 10th and will be available in three types. Coupled with the release is a series of eight in-store events throughout June and July.

Following the grand final of HERO's last indie tour, Ending, the band will hold their first major one-man tour. The tour will be titled Opening and will start on June 22nd at Nagoya E.L.L, with a "semi-final" at Akasaka BLITZ on September 15th. The tour final will take place sometime in December, but a date and venue has yet to be confirmed.

Formed in September 2007, HERO had a steady fanbase while being an indie group. Following the release of Soutaiseiriron, the band's last indie single, the group are making their major debut through CROWN RECORDS.
