Our Lonely Hearts

The legendary masterpiece that once saved our lonely hearts is reborn today, after 13 long years...
With endless love and respect, Mii delivers a soulful sampling cover of Queen MILIYAH KATO's "Lonely Hearts".

Dedicated to "us" who were once saved by "that song" when we were wondering, "When will this loneliness ever end?" - and to the "us" today, still living through life while carrying "scars that never fade" and "new conflicts" even as adults, this is a song of salvation.Even when you are exhausted from playing strong for someone else and about to lose yourself, I want you to embrace "that light" and "those words" which once rescued you, and take a step forward believing in your own soul.In this world where nothing lasts forever, this authentic R&B soul number - where every single note carries a piece of the soul - allows the bonds running deep between us to tenderly embrace "our pain" for as long as it takes.

This single features arrangements by DJ SHUYA, the long-time Bandmaster of MILIYAH KATO''s band and a key figure who knows her music better than anyone. Furthermore, Shinichiro Murayama-the legendary Japanese sound architect who arranged and produced the original 2013 version of "Lonely Hearts"-has newly lent his expertise to breathe fresh life into the track as the MIX engineer. For the coupling track "Aitai," MANABOON, a top-tier pianist who has long anchored the Japanese R&B scene, joins on piano, while Mii's close musical ally Kaito Mori helmed the Recording and MIX. Bringing together a powerhouse team that knows the world of the original song better than anyone, alongside the creative talents that have supported Mii's journey, this unique masterpiece has been completed with the utmost respect for the original work.
