Singer-songwriter NIKIIE, who made her debut last December, has had her new song, “NAME“, chosen as the ending theme for music program “CDTV” (TBS) through the month of July. The song will be included on the singer’s first album, “*(NOTES)“, on sale July 13th.

With help from Cocco and Abe Mao, and the production talents of Negishi Takamune, the song’s pop-rock sound matches perfectly with the lyrics. “There’s a part of me that’s visible, and a part of me that’s not. There are feelings that can be put into words, and those that can’t. I realized that there is a part of me on the edge of expression, a part that I had been hiding. I hope that this song gives its listeners a chance to make a new discovery”, NIKIIE commented.

The artist’s first album will encompass 12 songs, including her debut single “Shunkashuto” (December 2010), singles “HIDE&SEEK“, “Ajisai“, and others. It will be released in both a limited and regular edition. The limited edition includes the music video for “NAME”, as well as a DVD of the 8 songs performed at the “It’s ME, NIKIIE TOUR!!” concert on April 10th in Shibuya.

NIKIIE will also kick off a new tour after the album’s release, called “NIKIIE LIVE TOUR 2011 *(POSTSCRIPT)“. Beginning September 16th at KRAPS HALL in Sapporo, the tour will cover 8 concerts in 8 cities before ending October 14th at club SONIC in Mito.

Tickets for the upcoming tour will go on sale August 13th.
