Chara's single and DVD

The artist has not released anything solo since September 2008, which seems like ages considering her release pace since she is under Universal..

After being featured on an EP of her friend Kiyoshi Takakuwa aka Curly Giraffe (released on March 13th), Chara returns with a new single slated for a July 29 release. Entitled Breaking Hearts, the CD will include a cover of Yumi Matsutouya's Mamotte agetai as a B-side; Chihiro Onitsuka already recorded a very beautiful version of this song a few years ago. Chara's single will be out in two versions: CD-only and CD+DVD with a music video for the A-side.

A DVD entitled LIVE LIFE2 containing her performance at the Tôkyô JCB Hall, held on November 16 2008 as part of her Chara Tour 2008 "honey", will also be out on July 29th.

To pre-order the single and the DVD, go to CDJapan.
