Singer Kana Nishino has been chosen to sing the ending theme song to the upcoming NARUTO Shippuuden movie, NARUTO the Move: The Lost Tower. Her new song, “if” that will be released the same day the movie comes out, July 31.

This will be the anime’s seventh movie for the NARUTO Shippuuden series. Since it’s syndication in 2002, the anime has three movies for the original anime series, NARUTO.

Kana joins the ranks of YUKI, DJ OZMA and Puffy who have all made NARUTO Shippuuden movie theme songs. She will also hold her first nationwide tour, called Kanayan Tour 2010 ~Autumn~ starting September 3 at the Zepp Stadium in Fukuoka. The tour will consist of six performances in six cities throughout Japan.

Kana’s new album “to Love” will drop 6/23 with two versions. A normal and limited edition which contains a DVD with video clips and making, special jacket and some special goods.

    Japan’s current ‘It’ girl. She sold her soul to the devil. I LOVED her when she had steady releases. Now it’s just single after single, oh and an album inbetween. Her management has started to milk her, but I bet she enjoys it nonetheless. I will give her new album next week a try, but I doubt I’ll like it much. 「Aitakute Aitakute」 was a nice song, though.
