Matsushita Yuya Releasing 8th Single in 8 Versions
Currently, young actor Matsushita Yuya is playing the lead role in TBS TV series "Quartet", to which he also contributed the theme song. The song Paradise had only been released on February 2nd, 2011 and he has already announced his new single.
The track "Naturally" is scheduled for May 5th and as his 8th single, it will be released in a total of eight different versions. These different versions will include a total of six cover songs, which Matsushita challenged. However, the exact content still has to be revealed.
Fans of the multi-talented young man, who has also mastered his first stage play with "Kuroshitsuji" should certainly be looking forward to the release, though choosing just one CD might be a hard choice to make!
