Multi-talented artist CHI-MEY's new single, "Chiisana uta", will include the musical talents of Kiroro's Kaneshiro Ayano and members of Orange Range!

The single will be released on June 29th under the name of "CHI-MEY, Ayano & Tokidoki Range", and Orange Range members NAOTO and HIROKI will contribute to the track.

NAOTO commented, "This is high-quality pop music entertainment. It's really a great group. Anyway, it was fun! Everybody should sing along." HIROKI explained, "I was able to gain some valuable experiences through this collaboration."

"Chiisana uta" explains the bond between parent and child, and about the promise of a child's future. "With the combined styles of HIROKI and NAOTO on this track, listening to it can make any day special", Kaneshiro explained.

HIROKI praised the artist's personality, saying, "CHI-MEY is really good natured, and also a bit mischievous, so it was fun to work with him. He's the kind of guy that all the kids look up to. [Laughs]"

Kaneshiro agreed: "The smile he gives to those kids, and the way he is so nice to them... I really admire that. CHI-MEY can make moms and dads happy, and help them realize the fun of raising children. He did so for me."

CHI-MEY is known for holding concerts for children at preschools and kindergartens.

CHI-MEY will also have a one-man concert on June 29th, the day the single is released.
