Hot on the heels of announcing his new Live DVD, singer Fukuyama Masaharu has revealed that he will be releasing a new physical single, his first in over two years, on August 19th in order to celebrate his 25th anniversary in the industry.  The release will be titled “I am a HERO” and will include five songs, each of which has its own tie-in with another piece of media; the title track is currently being used as the theme song for the NTV drama “Hanasaki Mai ga Damattenai” (the remainder of the tie-ins will be listed below).

“I am a HERO” is currently set to be issued in four different versions:  a Regular CD-Only Edition, a CD+Goods Edition which will include a special muffler towel, a CD+DVD Edition which will include the Music Videos for the first two songs on the single, and for the first time, a Fan Club Edition which will include a special booklet with pictures of Fukuyama from when he was a child and dreamed of becoming a hero, as well as from the year he debuted, and a letter to fans which will explain why he chose to cover Ozaki Yutaka’s “I LOVE YOU” on his first solo album “Dengon”.

You’ll find the provisional track list for “I am a HERO”, as well as the cover for its Fan Club Edition just after the jump.
