Following her Night Tempo-produced singles "Want You / Merry-Go-Round" in February 2024, Hima returns with her long-awaited new single, "Sweet Inspiration ~ Little Sparkle" (Sweet Inspiration ~ Mysterious Power).
This track is a Japanese cover of the City Pop masterpiece "Sweet Inspiration" by the late Hiroshi Sato, a pioneer of the genre. The cover was realized through a collaboration between Hima and Yui Masaki, a lyricist known for her work with Hiroshi Sato, Masayuki Suzuki, Anri, Miho Nakayama, and others.
The arrangement was handled by Tatsuhiko Iino, a former member of FLYING KIDS who has maintained a relationship of trust with Hima for over five years through her YouTube cover songs. Furthermore, Shiro Maruyama (also of FLYING KIDS) joins as the guitarist.

"Sweet Inspiration ~ Little Sparkle" serves as the lead-up single to her first full-length album, "Route U," scheduled for release on November 19th.
