Before the release of her upcoming single “追憶の光” (“Tsuioku no Hikari”), popular vocalist Sayaka Yamamoto finally divulged more info about her new album. Strategically titled α (Alpha) and scheduled for release December 25, this will be the first album since Yamamoto’s departure from NMB48. α represents a beginning; Yamamoto hopes to use this album as a means for a fresh start following her career as an idol.  Dropping with eleven tracks total, α will include all three previously released singles and will be released with three editions: a CD-only standard edition, a CD + DVD limited edition, and a CD + DVD + photo book fan club edition. The DVD will include music video clips of several tracks along with the making-of for lead track “TRUE BLUE”. The fan club edition will also include behind-the-scenes footage of her on location shooting in London.
