Long-running band Quruli announced their new single "だいじなこと / 忘れないように" ("Daijinakoto/ Wasurenai youni"), which will be released on June 27th. However, the format for this particular song will seem a throwback prior to the digital age, as it will be released on a cassette tape rather than a CD with the A-Side on one side and the B-Side on another.
