New Album from Hitomi Yaida

Singer-songwriter Hitomi Yaida will release a new album on September 7th.

Her 12th in total, Alright will contain 10 songs. These will include a number of tracks used in commercials, such as Sararisara, Hana no you na kimi ni, Everybody needs a smile and Zutto soba de mimamotte iru yo.

The album will be available in two editions. The regular edition will be CD-only, while the limited edition will add a bonus DVD with a documentary video covering Yaida Hitomi hikigatari Tour 2022 ~Guitar to Uta~, which was held from April to July this year, as well as live footage of five songs from a show held at Shibuya CLUB QUATTRO on June 4th.

In addition, it has been revealed that a new song from the album titled Komazawa kouen will get a preceding digital release on "Yaiko Day" (August 15th). The song is said to be inspired by an idea that came to Yaida after seeing many kites fluttering in the air while she was visiting Tokyo's Komazawa Park with her family.

The music video for Sararisara can be viewed below. Links to download and stream the song on various online music platforms are available here.
