Maaya Sakamoto's Magic Number

Singer Maaya Sakamoto has announced the release of a new single for November 11th. Composed and arranged by Kitagawa Katsutoshi, from duo ROUND TABLE, the single will be called Magic Number. This single will be used as the opening theme song for the anime "Kobato", which will begin airing in October on the NHK channel.

The single will also come with the b-side Private Sky, a rock tune supported by a three-piece back-up band formed by Nakamura Taichi and rock group 100s members Tamada Tomu and Yamaguchi Hiroo.

Additionally, the CD will also contain two live songs, Kaza midori and Pocket wo sora ni shite, both recorded during Sakamoto's concert at Tokyo Kokusai Forum Hall A in January of this year. This concert was part of her latest tour WE ARE KAZEYOMI! which was released as a live DVD in May 20th.
