Hinatabokko / Madara [Madara Edition]

“Hinatabokko / Madara” by REIRIE is a CD single release that highlights the group’s distinctive blend of modern J‑pop and expressive musical storytelling. Featuring the two main tracks “Hinatabokko” and “Madara,” this release showcases contrasting moods and musical styles within a single package.

The major first single from REIRIE, the duo unit consisting of Rei Kuromiya and Rie Kaneko. This double A-side release contains "Hinatabokko," used as the ending theme for the TV anime "Dara-san of Reiwa (Reiwa no Dara-san)," and the image song "Madara." "Hinatabokko" is REIRIE's first song to incorporate Celtic and folklore elements, featuring a warm and pastoral sound centered on fiddle and acoustic guitar. Meanwhile, "Madara" is a horror rock song focusing on the story's past arc, depicting in a profound and dark manner the story of a shrine maiden's transformation from a human into a supernatural being. Through these contrasting songs, the work presents the breadth of REIRIE's expression, from "light and darkness" to "peace and madness."
