Friends, now in their 11th year since formation and currently on a nationwide tour, released the digital single 'Rinky-Dink feat. Myuto Morita (SPENSR REMIX)' on May 6, 2026.
This work is a remix version of 'Rinky-Dink', a song included in their 4th album 'Ten City' released in 2025. The production came about after a collaborative stage performance at the live event 'Friends no Friends Daishugo! ~10th Anniversary Daibonen-kai~' held at Tokyo Kinema Club at the end of 2025.
For this remix version, Myuto Morita not only participated in vocals but also wrote original lyrics. While retaining the original cool atmosphere, the lyrics feature playful wordplay, incorporating the band's name and familiar snack phrases. SPENSR, who has produced many of Morita's songs and is also an active artist himself, was in charge of the remix. The guitar and bass were re-recorded to match the arrangement, resulting in a groovy urban electro sound that blends the original dance-pop x rock sound with R&B and retro-funky textures. The artwork was created by Emison, using a collage made from 'actual garbage photographed in the city'. We hope you enjoy the new 'Rinky-Dink', which showcases a fresh expression in both sound and art.
Furthermore, Myuto Morita is confirmed to make a guest appearance at the nationwide tour '"Ten City" Release TOUR Situation Comedy ~ On The Road ~' final performance at Shibuya WWWX on May 10! Don't miss this special night.
As a mutual collaboration project, Morita's new song 'yurete', featuring Friends, is also currently available for streaming and download on various platforms. Be sure to check that out as well.
