- Information
"the end of shite" is the debut solo single released by YUKI. The title track was used as the commercial song for the Toyota Motor Corporation's WiLL VS model. It was released a year after JUDY AND MARY's final studio album WARP. The single was written and produced by Higurashi Aiha, formerly of the Japanese rock band Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her. "YUKI was a fan [of Higurashi]" and she contacted Higurashi looking for a "producer, songwriter, and musician."[1] At the time Higurashi had five songs written as she was getting ready to launch her own solo career, and she played the songs for YUKI. YUKI loved the songs, and used three of them for this single.
These tracks are YUKI's only songs in her solo discography not to feature her own lyrics. "the end of shite" was later placed on YUKI's first studio album PRISMIC as track #1, and later on the best-of compliations five-star and POWERS OF TEN. Higurashi later recorded her own self-cover and released it in 2003 on her own debut solo, "NEW LIFE".
