Matsuura Aya, along with five other singers from various genres, have formed a special unit titled Chorus Japan as part of a promotional campaign for Roots Aroma Impact, a canned coffee product.
The members of the group are Alkira Fuse, Sayuri Ishikawa, Anri, Masayuki Suzuki, Matsuura Aya, and CHEMISTRY’s Yoshikuni Dochin.
The six all appear together in the product’s commercial, singing a song titled Ne no Uta. A CD release is scheduled for mid-October, although the song is already available digitally. The commercials featuring the song will begin airing nationwide on 10/5.
I’m somewhat surprised that after the forming of Afternoon Musume we get to see yet another canned coffee unit being formed with a UFA member, and even though Georgia Coffee is at an advantage since it is the most popular coffee drink it will be interesting to see how the new unit’s experience in different genres helps them.
I haven’t found a preview of the song but I will update when it is released online, although hopefully all Ayaya fans buy the song online or on CD when it is released.
The release date for the CD is 10/13.
EDIT: Thanks to jhonstuar for posting a link to the video featuring both CMs:

The song is a bit slower than I expected and I can’t say that it is the catchiest ballad I have heard, but I like how we can hear each one of their voices.
