Asagi solo release information master post
The title of the single is actually three titles in one, as each version has a different A-Side. The titles are “Seventh Sense”, “Shikabane no Ouja” and “Anpsi”
“Shikabane no Ouja” means “Corpse King,” and the only meaning I can find for “Anpsi” is it being a term coined by those believing animals to have ESP. I will come back to this if I’m mistaken.
The single drops on the 27th April 2016. Details of the versions are as follows:
Version A (1800 yen)
1. Seventh Sense
2. Shikabane no Ouja
3. Anpsi
4. Seventh Sense （Instrumental）
There will also be a DVD of the music video, including lyrics, to the song “Seventh Sense” and a making of feature.
Version B (1800 yen)
1. Shikabane no Ouja
2. Anpsi
3. Seventh Sense
4. Shikabane no Ouja （Instrumental）
There will also be a DVD of the music video, including lyrics to the song “Shikabane no Ouja” and a making of feature.
Version C (1800 yen)
1. Anpsi
2. Seventh Sense
3. Shikabane no Ouja
4. Anpsi （Instrumental）
There will also be a DVD of the music video, including lyrics to the song “Anpsi” and a making of feature.

I will add the full translation of the release statement later, but basically this release is like a three part story. The MVs and the songs will all be connected, almost like a film. The release is also described as commemorating Asagi being active in the music industry for twenty years. Oh, and there’s a Twitter open just for Asagi’s solo stuff, but it’s currently private!
As with D, and pretty much any artist in Japan, Asagi will be doing some in-store events as part of promotion, and they’re happening pretty soon!
