Description:

Tomoyo Harada has been active as both an actress and a singer since her debut. In recent years, while appearing in numerous high-profile films as an actress, she has also taken the stage as a singer with her one-of-a-kind singing voice that combines the dignified beauty and clarity of an adult woman. The new single "Violet" was written, composed, and sound-produced by Etoon Kawatani, with whom the group has teamed up for the first time. The song is an exquisite fusion of the sad melody and Tomoyo Harada's clear voice. For the coupling song, Goro Ito arranged and produced a re-cover of Yumi Matsutoya's classic "Mamoruete Aetai," which she covered in 1983, the year of her debut. The jacket is a newly-drawn work by illustrator Maeda Hisae, inspired by the main character in the lyrics of "Violet". (C)RS
