Blue Moon Crisis

Kotobuki Hane Kicks Off 2026 with 7th Single "Blue Moon Crisis," Releasing January 2nd
Kotobuki Hane has announced the release of her 7th single, "Blue Moon Crisis," set to drop on Friday, January 2, 2026.
The title track, "Blue Moon Crisis," is a quintessential ballad that showcases the very essence of Kotobuki Hane. The lyrics depict the "loneliness after the magic fades" alongside the "strength to keep singing," resonating over a melody that is both heart-rending and powerful. Her beautiful, soaring vocals in the chorus are sure to shake the hearts of listeners.
Hidden within the release date and the initials of the title is a message of respect and celebration for a "certain existence" deeply admired by the production team-making this a special track that invites fans to speculate and discover the deeper meaning.
In stark contrast, the B-side track "Silva" is a jazz-infused rock number featuring a roaring brass section. With a motif centered on a woman navigating the city night, the sound carries a mature allure and an aggressive edge, opening the door to a new realm of expression for Kotobuki Hane.
The "stillness" of the ballad and the "motion" of the jazz rock-this ambitious work vividly portrays two opposing worldviews, making it the perfect start to 2026.
