[Ikimonogakari Update] Yoshioka Kiyoe, to release a cover album

I've got the news as soon as they got posted on social media (in Japanese), but there's me... lazy. I was thinking of waiting for other sites to post this news but then it's nearly a month and I tried googling if someone already broke out the news, to find out none.

Yoshioka Kiyoe, to release a cover album on October 24, 2018

Album is entitled "Utairo" and so far there are 10 tracks, including the two prior released songs: "Yume de Aetara" (originally by Ohtaka Eiichi) and "Ito" (originally by Nakajima Miyuki). Some other tracks include "Shounen" by Yuzu, "Eine Kleine" by Yonezu Kenshi, among others. The album costs ¥3,000 + tax. [1] [2]

Earlier this year, Yoshioka Kiyoe opened up her own personal website seemingly promoting her cover songs. I did get the hunch that she's probably slowly inching to a solo career just like how Mizuno Yoshiki and Yamashita Hotaka are currently engaged with a lot of projects.

The news broke out last August 21, 2018. [2]

As part of promoting the album, Yoshioka Kiyoe launches her Instagram account [3].

Yoshioka Kiyoe currently has a verified Instagram account, @kiyoe_utairo_official where she posts updates and behind the scenes of the production of the album. [3] [4]
