Little Glee Monster to Release New Single Featuring Pentatonix

Vocal group Little Glee Monster recently announced that their 17th single will feature a collaboration with Grammy award-winning acappella unit Pentatonix.

Dear My Friend feat. Pentatonix will be released on CD on December 16th. Fans won't have to wait to hear the title song, however, as it got a preceding digital release on November 25th. Links to download and stream the song on various digital platforms are available here.

The two groups started interacting with each other in 2014 when they co-starred at an event. The collaboration song, Dear My Friend, was written by Seiji Kameda. It is said to express the feelings of “caring for friends”, especially during stressful times like the current global health crisis. While the song and its music video were recorded remotely by the two groups, Little Glee Monster and Pentatonix's vocals are said to combine with the characteristically Japanese melody to create a "heartwarming song that connects people with each other".

The full single will feature four songs: the title track, an acappella Christmas medley, Magic Snow -Sing 2020- and a studio live version of Itoshisa ni Ribon wo kakete.

Little Glee Monster commented:
"We have been interacting with Pentatonix since we co-starred at an event before debut in 2014, and we are really happy to collaborate with them this time. Although things have become difficult due to the pandemic, we were able to complete the song remotely. We hope this song may remind people of friends far away and soothe those who cannot meet each other in these difficult times."
