Shishigami Leona Previews 12th Single Minutes Before Its Booth Release, Then Sings 16 Songs

REACT — Shishigami Leona, a singer with the agency ReAcT, used a singing stream (*utawaku*) on the 7th to preview her 12th single, “Kaishaku Icchi ja Owarenai” (解釈一致じゃ終われない), shortly before its advance digital release on Booth at 7 p.m.

After two songs and some talk, she said it was time for the announcement. She played a cut she had made in a size meant for short videos, and then a second section she called a favorite part of hers: the opening of the second verse, which she sang in a different style from the rest of the song. She said the recording called for a nose-laugh delivery, and that getting it right took many takes. She also said the song is a stylish one, and that she would sing it, along with the other new songs, at her solo concert on Dec. 26. Once the release time arrived, she pasted the Booth link and asked viewers to go buy the song.

“It’s become 12 singles. It’s amazing. It’s all thanks to you.” — Shishigami Leona, on her single count

The rest of the evening was songs, 16 by her count. She opened a request segment in which viewers named songs, sang a Doraemon number, and handed viewers the choice of the last songs. They picked a Hamtaro song, which two Super Chats had also requested, and she sang it alongside “Watashi no Ichiban Kawaii Tokoro” before a closing ballad. Chat answered with penlight and clapping emotes, and one viewer asked what kind of song the single was just as the preview began.

At the end she read the stream’s 10 Super Chats aloud, thanked viewers who had bought the single, and told them to come to the Dec. 26 concert. She said the day would be a good way to spend the end of the year together.
