Kana’s comment:

I’m honored to be in charge of the theme song for the game “Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and The Millionaires’ Conspiracy.” As for the theme song “Girls,” I thought of the strong female character Katrielle who works hard to unravel the story’s mystery and imagined a song to cheer her on. For working or studying, it’s a song for girls who want to follow their dreams. Whether you’re about to lose or facing a heartbreak, I’d love for someone to listen to this song and have the courage to stand up against it all.

The game “Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and The Millionaires’ Conspiracy” will be published globally by Level-5 and will launch simultaneously on iOS and Android platforms on July 20, 2017, with a Nintendo 3DS game to follow in autumn 2017 and will be available in eight languages at launch.

The new title is a departure from previous games in the Professor Layton series as it is made up of a combination of smaller conundrums and puzzles that need to be solved in order to complete the overall mystery.

Kana Nishino’s 31st single “Girls” will be released July 26.
