New Aiko Song! It's 2019 and You Can Help Us

  By sheer coincidence, exactly one year after my last post on S.P.A.K.A. I checked Aiko's blog. She hasn't posted there since April. That's not exactly shocking. Apparently she has switched to Instagram, and if anyone on the planet would make a good subject for that site, it'd be her. She's still too pretty. https://www.instagram.com/aiko_kayo1211/ But I discovered a painfully short video for a new song that has AIKO and YU (from 'dream') in a duet for the theme song to 染井吉野 ( somei yoshino =   Yoshino cherry) and I really wish I could find more. Since it's 2019 and I know several people in Japan (or at least, I know people who know people), can someone please tell me more? So far all I know (and it's good to know) is that Aiko's still on the mic in 2019. And apparently she and Yu are in the show, too? https://static.blog-video.jp/output/hq/rwZIycdFWvufDnn5QmHzD8rB.mp4 [Header image is from Aiko's Ameblo blog:  https://ameblo.j
