Miku Ito Brings Her Unique Style With Latest Music Video Preview!

/

To celebrate the release of her latest single “No. 6”, voice actress-turned-vocalist Miku Ito released a preview of the music video for said track on her YouTube channel. Released on April 28, this was the latest release by the vocalist since her album Rhythmic Flavor back in December of last year and was her eighth single overall.

The title song, "No. 6", serves as the opening theme of the anime 戦闘員、派遣します！(Combatants Will Be Dispatched!) which is currently being broadcasted. Kentaro Sonoda teamed up with Itou since he had worked with her on "Shocking Blue" (he wrote the lyrics). Big band Lowland Jazz contributed the light brass sound throughout the track. The single also includes a coupling song titled "気づかない？気づきたくない？" (“Kizukanai? Kizukitakunai?”), which was written and composed by vocalist Anna Takeuchi. It is a song that brings out the new charm of Ito with an urban sound and rap portion in the middle of the track.

The single was released with two editions: a CD-only standard and a limited edition which comes with a bonus DVD. The DVD features both the full version of the music video and a behind-the-scenes making-of as well.
