Pop singer and songwriter Naotaro Moriyama has announced he will be dropping a brand-new double A-side single titled “Sakura (2020 Gassho) / Saiaku na Haru”, which is set to be released on March 17. “Sakura (2020 Gassho)” is being used in the commercial for CalorieMate, and is a rerecording of his song “Sakura”, which was released in March of 2003. When Moriyama released his first album, Kawaita Uta wa Sakana no Esa ni Chōdo Ii, “Sakura” was considered to be the song he really distinguished himself with.  “Sakura (2020 Gassho) / Saiaku na Haru” is being released in two editions total, a standard edition that will be CD-only, and a limited edition that will come with a bonus DVD. Pre-orders are up and posted below, along with the complete track listing. Lastly, be sure to check out the 2019 recording for his song “Sakura” in the video below!
