First Album from Hiromitsu Kitayama

Pop singer Hiromitsu Kitayama will release his first album on August 26th.

ZOO will be available in three editions. Limited Editions A and B will both contain 13 songs, while the regular edition will add an exclusive bonus track titled FORM. Songs featured on the album will include the previously-released singles THE BEAST, BET, JOKER and RANSHIN.

Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS member Ryuji Imaichi, a longtime friend of Kitayama's, makes a guest appearance on an alternate version of THE BEAST. This is not their first time working together, as Kitayama also appeared on a new collaboration version of Imaichi's song REALLY LOVE that was featured on his June album R.

The regular edition of ZOO will be CD-only with a 20-page lyric booklet, while Limited Editions A and B will each come with a mini comic book and a 24-page lyric booklet.

The music videos for the original version of THE BEAST and BET can be viewed below, followed by an Instagram post from Imaichi featuring him and Kitayama playing around to a clip of the collaboration version of REALLY LOVE. Turn on captions to watch the MVs with English subtitles.
