As previously announced, NEWS will start out 2015 with a magnificent love song based on “Princess Kaguya” from the “Tale of the Bamboo-cutter”. Their new single “KAGUYA” will be released on January 7, 2015. With the help of Ninagawa Mika’s music video direction, they created a curiously bewitching, yet modern version of “Princess Kaguya”. It is a special song that combines a story passed down from ancient times and the “current” NEWS.

The full song preview, PV preview, single covers and tracklist have been revealed. Check them out below.
