flumpool announced the distribution release of "Ikizuku feat. Nao Matsushita," the theme song for the movie "Kaze no Kanade no Kimi e" which will be released nationwide on June 7 (Friday), on June 5 (Wednesday).
The song "Kaze no Kanade no Kimi e" is set in Mimasaka, Okayama, a region famous for its tea production, and tells the story of a pianist, Sataka Aoe, who visits the area, and her brothers who run a tea shop, The band has announced that it will be releasing the song for distribution.
Nao Matsushita, who also co-stars in the movie, is featured in "Ikizuku feat. Nao Matsushita," a ballad with a grand arrangement and a sense of scale. I am very happy that it is an important part of the movie and not just a theme song. As stated, the overlapping of their voices, which matches the worldview of the movie and is unique to the feature, is a different approach, so we hope that you will enjoy the song along with the movie while paying attention to this new aspect of flumpool.
Pre-add / Pre-save and radio airplay has also started, so please make your requests to radio stations. In addition, a short version of the song is now available on TikTok and Instagram music stamps, so please enjoy the song on your social networking sites before its release.

[Ryuta Yamamura commented.
Ikizuku" is a song about the essence of life and the significance of life in our daily lives.
Through film roles and previous relationships, I experienced the influence of loved ones and built on those experiences.
Just as the wind acquires a body by touching a flower, we find ourselves alive by touching a loved one.
I hope that this song will express through music the invisible importance of the heart and emotions, and evoke a sense of liveliness and life that is often overlooked in our daily lives.
In the film, the two actors have few scenes in which they express their feelings for each other, but at the end of the film, they join their voices together in this song.

Nao Matsushita commented.
I had a great time participating in the production of the theme song "Ikizuku"!
I was really looking forward to seeing what kind of lyrics Mr. Yamamura would write about the clear air, blue sky, green tea fields, etc., which we spent time shooting together. When I received the demo, I felt that this fresh and gentle breeze would warmly embrace the hearts of the two people who cross paths in the story.
I am really looking forward to seeing "Iki Zukuri" on the screen along with the wonderful scenery of Mimasaka!
