New song "Kirari"

Ikimonogakari has been appointed to sing for the theme song of the Movie 'Ao haru ride' starring Tsubasa Honda and Masahiro Higashide. The movie is the adaptation of the manga of the same name.
The movie will be out on December 13.

The name of the song is 'Kirari' and is described as a song that depicts youth in relation to the movie.
The movie director of 'Ao haru ride' Miki Takahiro has already worked with Ikimonogakari for the music videos 'YELL' and 'Kaze ga Fuiteiru'.

The song has been written by Mizuno Yoshiki and arranged by Akimitsu Honma. No release date has been announced yet.

Here is the new group image:



You can hear a bit of the song in this trailer:

Oh yeah!

All of a sudden I wanted to watch the anime version.

But I'm glad their songs are used as always.

But this means we can still expect either a third single or an album for this year! Gosh this makes me sooooo excited. Ikimonogakari FTW!

Yeah, I've seen it about 6 days ago here: http://special.movies.yahoo.co.jp/detail/20141007370500/

TIP: You can hear 28 seconds of the song and the song starts at the 0:50 mark.

Commentary: Apparently the song's probable intro is used at the intro of the trailer. Technically, this song is also in the Key of E and has a tempo of approximately 136 bpm. Same key with Kaze ga Fuiteiru and approximately the same kind of musical style with Kaze to Mirai (that is, on my standards, but the differences with it and Kaze to Mirai are the tempo and the intro). The first line I've heard was "Don't say something like 'I want to cry'", so it seems like an uplifting, or assuring song.

easy listen song

Woww! I really, really love Ao Haru Ride, and now Iki's going to sing in the movie OST? can this year get any better!! Thanks for the info

Someone has uploaded a radio-recorded teaser on Youtube (probably from the radio program of Ikimonogakari). If you want to hear it (and lose chances for the thrill, like I gambled on, myself), here's the link:

Sounds ok. Nothing special if you ask me. Typical Ikimono song.

Well I got an LSS for it even of it's not yet released. I like easy-going songs like these that they have and it really sounds comforting in my part... somehow there were times I wanted to cry just at listening to it. Oh, sorry, I'm this emotionally superficial.

For me it's one of those songs that would get looped on my music player for long because I kind of like the emotions it portrays.
