The ultimate tag team of Shuzo Oshimi, the genius behind 'Chi no Wadachi' and 'Aku no Hana,' and Kumogahara, the 'Reiwa Progressive Star' who made his Fuji Rock debut this year! A single featuring violin by Rin Kojima (XOXO EXTREME) is now on sale!

Kumogahara, the 'Reiwa Progressive Star' who made his first appearance at the Fuji Rock Festival this year and thrilled many audiences, has released his long-awaited latest single!

The album includes a full remake of 'Yukimushi,' a classic song from the band's early days as a soloist and guitarist, performed by frontman Shota Ishigaki, in 2024, featuring the gorgeous violin of Rin Kojima, a talented member of the progressive idol group XOXO EXTREME, who is set to make their major debut. In addition, the maxi single includes the latest song 'Rain Scattered,' a fast-paced song with fresh vocals and a nostalgic melody, as well as two live takes and a karaoke version.

The jacket is a newly drawn illustration by Shuzo Oshimi, a manga artist known for his representative works 'Chi no Wadachi,' 'Aku no Hana,' and 'Hyoryuu Net Cafe,' inspired by Kumogahara! The liner notes will be written by Moe Isshiki of XOXO EXTREME.
