On June 17, Kou Shibasaki will release her first cover album. It is titled “Kou Utau.” The album will have 15 tracks. It sees her covering a range of acts, from Miyuki Nakajima and Makihara Noriyuki to Tokyo Jihen and Gesu no Kiwami Otome. She also covers a song by her frequent collaborator Masaharu Fukuyama. Some of the songs on the album were requested by fans via Twitter.

The album will come in a Limited Edition and a Regular Edition. The Limited Edition will have a “Poetry & Visual Book.” In this book, there will be photographs by Ayako Mogi and poetry by Kou.
