It's been revealed that Fukuhara Miho will be collaborating with Wada Akiko for a new song titled "Get Up! feat. AKIKO WADA", which will be featured in her mini-album, "The Soul Extreme EP II".

The collaboration was put into effect after Fukuhara directly approached Wada with this offer. Fukuhara, who says she has always respected Wada as soul singer, created this new song in her image.

Wada commented, "In October, it will be 44 years since my debut. This was my first time singing a song with such fast tempo where I was out of breath. As my first experience, it was very fresh and I had fun. Miho likes the same musicians I do, but she is my rival as a singer. If I were to put in it age, I would probably be 'big mama'. I feel very honored to do this together. Miho is big mama's certified SOUL SISTER. In music, age or career doesn't matter, only the two of us know the feeling. We will always be rivals and friends. I've gained a good friend."

Meanwhile, Fukuhara commented, "Akko-san has many famous songs, but after listening to her old albums, I learned a lot, and discovered that there is a person doing soul music in Japan in this period. Then I selfishly made a song in her image, and had her listen to it. I didn't think there would be a collaboration, so it's really like a dream. During recording, I was moved by the presence of Akko-san's voice. I also felt that she is a person who puts everything into music, and thought that I need to put everything into it too. With this collaboration, I learned a lot, and I was very happy to spend time with a living legend! I now have a dream to perform with her live someday."

Additionally, the mini-album will include covers of KUWATA BAND's "ONE DAY" and Maroon 5's "Sunday Morning". The limited edition will come with a DVD containing a PV for "02 feat. AI", and recording session clips.

"The Soul Extreme EP II" will be released on October 12th.
