Information

"'Ikiro'" is the 24th single released by NEWS. It was released in three versions: a limited CD+DVD edition (Type-A), a limited CD edition (Type-B) that includes two re-recordings of old NEWS songs and a 12-page booklet, and a regular CD edition that includes four bonus tracks. The title track was used as the ending theme for the drama Zero Ikkakusenkin Game which stars Kato Shigeaki in the main role and the other three members as supporting cast. Furthermore, the song doubles as NEWS' 15th anniversary single and was therefore released on September 15th in a special box edition which includes not just the song "Strawberry" (written by the NEWS members) but also a special T-shirt. The box could only be purchased over a special site for a very limited period of time and was not sold in stores or elsewhere online. The single ranked 30th on the Oricon yearly ranking of that year.
