[Translation] TOKIO New Single "Tegami" (Letter), with lyrics by YUKI, to be released in March
It's been announced that TOKIO's newest single, "Tegami" (Letter) will be released on March 20th, 2013.
It will be the second single for TOKIO this year, coming right off the heels of their single "Lyric" to be released on the 20th of this month. The title song of the single, "Tegami," is the theme song for the up-and-coming movie, "Daijoubu Sankumi," which will hit theaters on March 23rd, and stars TOKIO's Kokubun Taichi. Lyrics for the song were written by YUKI, composition was handled by Tsutaya Koichi, and editing was taken care of by Noma Kousuke. The song is a　nostalgic rock-type number, the combination of YUKI's lyrics and the rhythmic prowess of TOKIO's performance giving it an adult flavor.
The single will be released in two versions: a limited edition with DVD of the single's promotional video, and a regular edition which includes coupling songs such as "Sunset City." Those who purchase "Tegami," the sooner-to-be-released "Lyric," along with the TOKIO Live Tour 1718 DVD currently set to be released this spring, will be entered into a lottery campaign to win a special prize through the aptly titled "TOKIO 2013 Campaign." Be sure to check out the campaign's official site for more information!

Note: this article was JUST released, and so far it's the only thing with any information like this, so it's obviously not official, but it's still exciting!! Let's hope it turns out to actually be official---Tower Records can't be that off the mark, can they?
