On February 17, Leo Ieiri will release her 11th single, “Hello To The World.” It will serve as the opening theme song for CDTV for February and March. The first B-side, “Obake no Namida” will serve as the theme song for NHK’s “Minna no Uta” in February and March. The single’s second B-side is the piano version of her previous single, “Kimi ga Kureta Natsu.”

Today, Leo released the short music video for “Hello To The World.” It’s an upbeat rock tune about opening up to the world and its future possibilities. The song was produced by Tabo Koichi, formerly of Superfly. The music video was shot at a high school in Shizuoka Prefecture. It tells the story of 3 schoolgirls who break free from their boring, timid lives and in effect take the song’s meaning to heart. Students from the school appeared in the video as extras. Leo was excited to meet with the students when the video was done filming.

Check out the music video as well as more information about the single after the jump!
