EXILE’s charity song and ATSUSHI’s solo song to be released as a double A-side single!
Previously, tokyohive reported that EXILE’s ATSUSHI would be making his solo debut with the song, “Itsuka Kitto…“. In the past, ATSUSHI presented solo songs through EXILE’s albums, but this will be the first time a CD will be released under his own name. Their 10th anniversary release, therefore, is an extra special one – EXILE/EXILE ATSUSHI will release a double A-side single titled, “Rising Sun/Itsuka Kitto…“!
“Itsuka Kitto…” is a song that expresses ATSUSHI’s anxiety and desire as a single man. The song was made with great care, as he double-checked every word and sound during the recording. “Itsuka Kitto…” is currently the theme song to the TV Asahi drama, “Hi wa Mata Noboru“.
After the Tohoku Earthquake, EXILE has made many efforts to help the disaster victims, such as making donations, visiting disaster areas, and distributing food. The group also produced a powerful and upbeat dance number called “Rising Sun”, to help cheer up the victims.
It’s said that ATSUSHI and TAKAHIRO worked long hours, making many minor adjustments to the song. Additionally, EXILE incorporated moves from Morioka’s ‘Yosakoi Dance‘ into “Rising Sun”, and arranged it into their own style.
“Rising Sun/Itsuka Kitto…” will come in two different editions: a CD+DVD version and a CD-only version. It will be released on September 14th.
Additionally, EXILE will kick off their dome tour, “EXILE LIVE TOUR 2011 TOWER OF WISH~Negai no Tou~“, on November 26th at Kyocera Dome in Osaka.

ENTERTAINMENT AUG. 11, 2011 - 05:00AM JST ( 4 )
TOKYO —
A concert to raise funds for victims of the March 11 disaster, titled “Don’t Worry Japan! Songs of love and care from the sky,” will be held at Tokyo Dome on Nov 11. The concert will also commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the death of songstress Hibari Misora, an icon of the Showa era, who died at the age of 52.
The concert was announced by Hibari Productions President Kazuya Ito, who is Misora’s eldest son. Performers will include Izumi Yukimura, Hiromi Go and 16 AKB48 members. They will sing some of Misora’s greatest hits as well as their own songs. Misora will appear in video footage. It will be her first “performance” at Tokyo Dome since April 11, 1988, when she was fighting against cancer.
Ito told reporters that he hoped the concert would forever touch the hearts of disaster victims by connecting the music of three generations of artists who will go beyond genres and age gaps.
2nd Japan-Vietnam Friendship Music Festival to feature AAA, AKB48, EXILE, w-inds., Koda Kumi
Posted on August 10, 2011 by tokyograph
A press conference was held at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel on Wednesday to announce the 2nd Japan-Vietnam Friendship Music Festival, set to take place in Hanoi on October 9, 2011. The lineup will feature AAA, AKB48, EXILE, w-inds., Koda Kumi, Godai Natsuko, and Sugi Ryotaro.
The 1st Japan-Vietnam Friendship Music Festival was held three years ago in 2008. This time, the festival will be held at the historic Hanoi Opera House, which is celebrating its 100th birthday.
After the Tohoku earthquake in March, the Vietnamese government donated 200,000 dong (approximately 16 million yen), 50,000 underwear, and many other items. This festival is being held partly as a gesture of repayment for Vietnam’s generosity, and it is said that the artists will be participating without a guaranteed fee. There are also plans to set up a Japan-Vietnam Medical Treatment Exchange fund in conjunction with the festival.
