Motohiro Hata's luxurious collaboration album "HATA EXPO -The Collaboration Album-" was released today, Wednesday, November 11th, and the music video for "ringo," a collaboration song with Masamune Kusano, included in the album, was also released at 20 p.m. today.
Spitz is a band that Hata has admired since he was a teenager, for their songs and singing voice. Since his debut, he has participated in many Spitz-sponsored events, including "Rock Rock Konnichiwa!", and his passionate offer was fulfilled, leading to the realization of a collaboration with Kusano Masamune. This is the first time that Kusano Masamune has collaborated with another artist, rather than just featuring in a song. The music video for this precious collaboration song features actress Yamada Anna as the apple fairy, and is an exciting finish that incorporates various gimmicks to match the light rhythm, and it perfectly expresses the worldview of the song, which Hata himself describes as "rock, cute, and a slightly twisted love song."
Additionally, the Blu-ray included with the first limited edition of the album also includes a newly filmed interview video of Hata Motohiro and Kusano Masamune talking about this collaboration, which also provides valuable information about the behind-the-scenes story of the song's production.
Other collaborations on the album include collaborations with sumika and Hanaregumi, which were released in advance, as well as the up-and-coming TOMOO, comedian Naoki Matayoshi (Peace), and Lisa Loeb from overseas. Also included are 10 songs, including the previously released collaboration song "reunion" with back number and Takeshi Kobayashi, as well as songs co-written with artists related to Hata, such as KAN, Asako Toki, and Straightener.
