Hikaru Utada’s new song "Pappa Paradise," currently used as the new ending theme for the anime Chibi Maruko-chan, is set for digital release on May 6.

"Pappa Paradise" has also been selected as the theme song for the new Ayataka tea CM "Ocha, Shiyokka. Jitaku" ("Let’s Have Some Tea. At Home"), starring actor Takeru Sato, who was recently appointed as the brand's ambassador. The CM will begin airing nationwide on April 6. This marks the third consecutive year Utada has provided a theme song for Ayataka CMs, following "traveling (Re-recording)" and "Mine or Yours."

In addition, the special radio program called 'Ayataka presents ~Hikaru Utada no Tre Bien Bohémien Special 2026~' will air on May 5 across five JFL network stations for the first time in about two years. The program will feature the first full-length on-air broadcast of "Pappa Paradise." Listener messages are currently being accepted via the program's official website.
