Kikkawa You to release the longest song in idol history
February 15, 2015

Kikkawa You will release a new single (currently untitled) on May 6th.

This was announced on February 13th during her Valentine event 'Kikka no Valentine Party ~Choco no Kazoekata~'. Her new single is said to be "an unique work in idol history." At the present stage, it's known that "one song is several tens of minutes long" and "Kikkawa You will sing about a woman's way of life in opera and musical style."

Regarding the new song, Kikkawa commented, "There have been rumors that a 'solo idol is coming', but Kikka is a solo idol among solo idols that does original things. In a good way, I hope to stay as an idol who stands out. I hope to sing about a woman's way of life in many forms, expressions, and voice, so please look forward to it."

"Several tens of minutes long"? For a pop/idol song?  :?

Kikkawa You's new song to be over 17 minutes long
April 9, 2015

The details on Kikkawa You's new single that's scheduled for a May 6 release has been revealed.

Previously, we reported that Kikkawa's upcoming single would be "a unique work in idol history." The title of this single has been confirmed to be "Hana". Produced by michitomo, "Hana" is 17 minutes and 25 seconds long. The lyrics were written by NOBE, Omori Seiko, and Daika Naoka, thus conveying three different world views.

Regarding "Hana", Kikkawa commented, "The new song is an epic piece that is 17 minutes and 25 seconds long. I even mistakened the lyrics for 4-minute songs, so I was quite amazed by the considerable amount of words. With the song written by Omori-san, the atmosphere changed completely. I was told to sing opera-like, or Takarazuka-like, so during my spare moments from recording, I watched videos of Miwa Akihiro-san and Takarazuka and captured their image. I hope you get to see the many faces of Kikkawa You through this one song!"
