[Machine Translation] Motohiro Hata's long-awaited first release of 2012 is his first EP featuring four new songs! Motohiro Hata made his major label debut in November 2006 with the single "Synchro" and has since grown to become one of Japan's leading male singer-songwriters, drawing attention with his overwhelming vocal ability, live performances, and lyrical lyrics and melodies that capture the essence of everyday life. In November 2011, Motohiro Hata celebrated the 5th anniversary of his debut, and a special live performance to commemorate the event was a great success. Amidst growing expectations for the next stage of his career, the long-awaited first release of 2012 has been announced! This will be their first EP disc, containing 4 original songs and 2 backing tracks (tentative). The EP will feature Motohiro Hata's well-known ballad songs in winter such as "Ai" and "Before Morning Comes," as well as "Toranoko," a well-known TV commercial song for "Kanro Kenko Kenkou no Throat Candy," the self-produced "Koi no Slave," and one new song. The album also includes one new song, and will showcase Motohiro Hata's new possibilities, from his most quintessential numbers to songs that have never before appeared on the album.
