Japanese actress and singer Mitsuki Takahata released “I’m All Yours” on Nov. 11 — her first album in 12 years and her first since moving to Universal Music Japan. The release is part of a project marking 20 years of her career. The music video for album track “Suimo, Amaimo” (“The Sour and the Sweet”) went live on her official YouTube channel that evening (THE FIRST TIMES, Nov. 11).

Nine songs, all written for her

Every track was written for Takahata, with each writer free to do it their own way. The album opens with the pre-release single “Reiwa Lady Renai Sanka,” composed and arranged by Shintaro Namioka of Penthouse with lyrics by Takuma Ohara.

It goes on through “Belladonna” by Natsuko Nisshoku, “Suimo, Amaimo” by Hyui Ishizaki (Takahata co-wrote the lyrics), “TOKYO TAXI DRIVER” by Kujira, “Mani” by Sora Hokimoto and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi of Bialystocks, “Over You” with lyrics by Asako Toki and music by Night Tempo, “Semete Yume de” written by Sekaikan Ozaki of CreepHyp and arranged by Surii, “Seishun no Tsuzuki” by Ringo Sheena, and the closer “Douka Suiheisen no Mukou e” by Ryuto Kiyoshi.

A first collaboration with director Kyotaro Hayashi

The “Suimo, Amaimo” video is a fantasy about a woman who finds a softly glowing egg in a forest at night and protects it with everything she has. It is Takahata’s first work with director Kyotaro Hayashi, who says he aimed for live-action footage with a texture you can almost touch.

Takahata will play a one-night anniversary show, “I’m All Yours” Premium Live, at Tokyo Garden Theater on Jan. 11, 2027.

BRUSH MUSIC Editor’s Note

One singer, nine writers, nine different doors into the same album — fans of each writer have a reason to press play. You don’t need a major label to borrow the idea: team up with a different writer on one track, and credit every collaborator clearly on your release pages and socials. It’s a simple way to reach listeners who wouldn’t have found you otherwise.
