Not forgetting the super popular Kamiya Hiroshi, who also just released his fourth single right after his birthday on the 28th! Title song START AGAIN preview promises a lavish shoot with melancholic backdrop with deserted beaches and sand dunes, a slight departure from Hare no Hi and Nijiiro Choucho, but not quite as edgy as Such a Beautiful Affair.

The series follows Asuta Jimon as he chances upon Kate Hoshimiya, and ends up tangled in her organisation’s (Zvezda) quest on world domination.
Coupling song Kuchihige Awa Balloon (くちひげ泡バルーン) is the theme song for the Monster Hunter: Itsudemo Airuu Life smartphone app. Do check both songs out if you liked Petipa! Track samples are available at the official website.
