Sayuri Bringing A Special Album To Fans!

Japanese pop singer-songwriter Sayuri is bringing a hikigatari (singing to one’s own accompaniment) type album for the first time titled Me which will be released March 18! Me is a special accompaniment album that purely encompasses Sayuri as an artist, featuring her playing her songs on guitar and singing them herself with just one microphone. Sayuri is known for several anime theme songs such as “Koukai no Uta” from My Hero Academia, “Tsuki to Hanabata” from Fate/EXTRA Last Encore, “Heikousen” from Kuzu no Honkai, and many more!

Me will release in two editions including a CD + DVD limited edition and a CD-only regular edition. The CD + DVD edition will include 15 tracks and live footage from two of Sayuri’s events while the CD-only regular edition will only include the same 15 tracks.
