Singer-songwriter Uru will release a new digital single, "Kyou to Iu Hi wo (Today)", on February 9. The song serves as the theme for the Netflix-distributed film "Kyosho Requiem", starring Takuya Kimura.

The music video for the single premieres the same day at 8 PM JST. Actor Riku Onishi stars in the video, directed by Masanori Tanimoto, which depicts a student navigating setbacks and graduation.

"I tried to imbue this song with a deep affection, a quiet watchfulness, within its few words," Uru said of the track.

The film "Kyosho Requiem" is the second part of a series finale, with the first part, "Kyosho Reunion", already streaming on Netflix. "Kyosho Requiem" opens in Japanese theaters on February 20.

The album's 15 tracks include several recent theme songs: "Ambivalent" for the second cour of the anime "The Apothecary Diaries", "Never ends" for the TBS drama "DOPE", "Tegami (Letter)" for the film "Yukikaze", and "Sobara nite Tsukiyo (By Your Side on a Moonlit Night)", a song provided by back number for the film "Kusunoki no Bannin".

The cover edition features newly recorded versions of eight cover songs. These include "Ao to Natsu" (Mrs. GREEN APPLE), "Shiawase na Ketsumatsu" (Eiichi Ohtaki), and "Tatoeba" (Masashi Sada).

Uru has also announced a 2026 national hall tour, "Uru Tour 2026 'tone'", with dates running from July through October.
