Ayumu Imazu Sets October 2 Release for SNS-Buzzed Single "Musubi"
The single is reaching release already carried by the social media response that preceded it, and the label is treating that spread as the launch rather than the result.
Reporting from 1 source: ASCII.jp.
Ayumu Imazu will digitally release "Musubi" on Friday, October 2, 2026, with the jacket photo unveiled the same day the release was announced. The track is a love song about bonds between people, built on the "red thread of fate" motif, with arrangement by Shin Sakiura, who worked on "Anata to Itai" and "MAGICAL." A TikTok demo posted in late August drew a major response, and UGC using the song passed 60,000 posts in about three weeks.
Shin Sakiura handled the arrangement, having previously worked on "Anata to Itai" and "MAGICAL." The track pairs a somewhat nostalgic sound with Imazu's own writing and dance work, and the attention around it has run mainly through short-form video rather than a conventional campaign.
Imazu's solo live at Nippon Budokan is set for January 31, 2027, with tickets listed as sold out and additional sales possible if equipment seats open. His second album, "CLASSIC," arrived in May.
