I was expecting March or so, so I'll take the trade up to 2/22. Hitting their anniversary for their 10th single is a good deal. Lookin' forward to it as always, TF still hasn't released a single where I didn't like a track. Some had to grow on me but I never outright disliked any.

Was wondering when this was going to be announced. I wonder if they'll keep the direction they've been on since the new members joined, or do something different for Kiki.

The titles of the single were announced on Tsubaki Factory's show Ikuze! Tsubaki Factory. It will be a Triple A-side.

Skip Skip Skip (スキップ・スキップ・スキップ)

Machigai Janai Naitari Shinai (間違いじゃない 泣いたりしない)

Kimi to Boku no Kizuna feat. KIKI (君と僕の絆 feat.KIKI)

Asakura Kiki also confirms it on her blog.

Skip Skip Skip.

Machigai Janai Naitari Shinai

Kimi to Boku no Kizuna feat. KIKI

It's going to be a triple A side single!

(It's amazing that my name is in the title)

This is Tsubaki Factory's 10th single and my last single!


I think it's nice that it's the 10th single and the last one.

Above all, the songs have a momentum that will surpass the previous one.

You will be able to see a wide range of new us again.

Please look forward to it ☺️.

Keep your schedule open!

Well maybe they can still release Summer Challenger as a B-side? I'm not super hopeful but I'd like to see the song released. My only other idea is it might pop up on their third album as ('22 ver.) or something.
Anyway, what does feat. KIKI mean? I've never seen this from H!P before; to "feat." a member who is in the group in the track title.

^ In her graduation announcement Kiki wrote, "After graduation, I will do my best working as a solo artist and balancing my studies," so maybe she's debuting her solo artist name here?

I had the secret hope that for HP's 25th anniversary, there would be a Tsunku song written for each group. Well... Maybe for the 100th anniversary...

Tsubaki Factory's new single and title was also announced on Hello Station

"Skip Skip Skip" a bright song and has a cute feel to it. It will be good for live concerts.

These green and black outfits they are wearing now is for "Machigai Janai Naitari Shinai", which is simple and mature.

According to Ono Mizuho, the song is mature (otonappoku) and the dance is cool.

"Kimi to Boku no Kizuna feat. KIKI" has lyrics (Takui) and music video that is fitting for Asakura Kiki's graduation.
