Harua Takeda, who made a sensational artist debut in January with her singles "Achikochi Romantic" and "Kataomoi," has digitally released her second new song, "Brand New Me," on April 30, 2026 (Thursday).

Concurrently, the music video (MV) was also released at 8 PM on the same day.

Song Overview

This work depicts the anxieties and hopes of a new life in motion, set to a light rock sound. It's a perfect spring song that freshly expresses the expectations, hesitations, and determination for the future at the moment of stepping into a new environment.

The refreshing band sound and heart-touching lyrics are impressive, gently pushing listeners forward and encouraging a positive step. It's an anthem for everyone facing a new phase of life, such as advancing to a new school, starting a new job, or taking on new challenges.

The lyrics were co-written by Harua Takeda herself and nui. The lyrics, imbued with her real emotions, are貫徹 with a message of affirming all aspects of oneself.
