As reported previously, Kanjani8 will be releasing their new single, "Aoppana" on September 5th. The jacket covers for the single have now been revealed.�The track list for the regular edition of the single includes "Aoppana", "Hana de Are", "8nen Mono" and "Onboro Story".

"Aoppana" is used as the theme song for the TBS drama "Boys on the Run", which stars Kanjani8's Maruyama Ryuhei. It is a melody that captures the vitality and immaturity of our youth and describes the reckless pursuit of one's dream despite shame and criticism from others. Like Kanjani8's "Monjai Beat", which was released in 2011, the lyrics for "Aoppana" are penned by Dohatsuten's Masuko Naozumi (Vo) and the melody is composed by Kamiharako Tomoyasu(G).

"Hana de Are" draws upon the analogy of a flower blooming despite difficult and sad days, while "8nen Mono" is a song that depicts the friendships between comrades as they share their joys and sorrows. "Onboro Story" is described as a pop melody with a tune that's full of hope.
