In addition, FES\u2606TIVE’s next single will be on sale on February 22, 2017.<\/p>\n

A word from Ikuzo Yoshi: “It seems that you had your eyes on something unusual!”<\/p>\n

A word from Sakamoto Yuna of FES\u2606TIVE: “I had heard my dad sing Ikuzo Yoshi’s Tokyo Sa Iguda<\/span> at karaoke, so it was such an honor to cover a song that I knew, and my parents were also very happy!
\nThe country drawl lyrics were a bit challenging, but because we knew the song, the recording process went more smoothly than expected.
\nJust as our sempai at Tokuma Japan Communications created a timeless song, we want people to listen to our FES\u2606TIVE cover in years to come. We have preserved some of the country twang, weaved with a more modern sound, and are working on dance moves to be performed at live shows. We hope our fans will join in!”<\/p>\n
