Singer, songwriter, and seiyuu Maaya SAKAMOTO is releasing a new single on July 24th! Titled Uchuu no Kioku, the leading and title song of the single is composed by Sheena Ringo, and features jazz overtones that are a bit different from Maaya’s usual musical influences. Two coupling songs will be included, and the instrumental tracks for all 3 songs will also be on this disc.

“Uchuu no kioku” will be the opening to a remake of the animated show Youkai Ningen BEM, originally aired in 1968. The show has been remade several times, and the 20th anniversary remake will be the second animated remake, and the third overall.

The trailer to BEM featuring “Uchuu no kioku” (and the ending theme “IRU IMI” sung by JUNNA) is available on the official BEM YouTube channel, and can be previewed below the track list. Limited quantities of the first press issue will include a bonus goodie at various outlets, including CD Japan (Neowing), and Amazon Japan.
