Maaya Sakamoto Announces 36th Single Titled Drops

By Josh PiedraFebruary 26, 2025

It was recently announced that Maaya Sakamoto’s latest song, “Drops,” will serve as the opening theme for the upcoming TV anime Aru Majo ga Shinu Made, which begins airing on April 1. Today, it has been confirmed that the song will be released as her 36th single, and the cover artwork has also been revealed.

Drops

The lyrics for “Drops” were written by Yuho Iwasato, who has collaborated with Maaya Sakamoto on many songs. The music was composed by Naoto Kiyota, an up-and-coming composer making his debut collaboration with Sakamoto, and the arrangement was handled by Shin Kono, who has been arranging Sakamoto’s music for many years. This combination of familiarity and fresh talent makes for an exciting team.

The coupling song, “Twilight,” features lyrics co-written by Maaya Sakamoto and Yuho Iwasato for the first time in 28 years, with composition and arrangement by Tomoya Kawasaki. This electro-style number marks a bold new direction for Sakamoto.

The Limited First Edition comes with the Maaya Sakamoto 30th Anniversary Acrylic Stand, “Omote mo Ura mo Sakamoto Maaya!” (Maaya Sakamoto on the front and back!). This exclusive anniversary item features a newly photographed image of Sakamoto with the FlyingDog logo on the base. The acrylic stand is double-sided, with her back view printed on the reverse.
