Background
[edit]Ho•n•to•u•so/Su•ki•ra•i is Japanese singer misono's first single bringing in her new era and seventeenth overall. It is also her first single released under the pseudonym "Me."[1] The single debuted on the Oricon Singles Charts and #26, but dropped to take the #46 slot for the week, remaining on the charts for three weeks.[2] The single was her seventh consecutive double a-side and was her only release in the year of 2011.[3]
The single was released in three editions, each containing different material: CD, CD+DVD and a limited edition CD+DVD combo.[4][5][6] The limited edition carried alternate cover art with the characters from the Tales of Symphonia: The Animation, the full animated theme song on the DVD and an alternate version of the music video for her collaborative song "with you," which she performed with BACK-ON, along with her solo version on the CD.[7]
"Ho•n•to•u•so" was used as the theme song to Tales of Symphonia: The Animation World United (テイルズオブ シンフォニアTHE ANIMATION世界統合編).[8] "Su•ki•ra•i" was used as the ending theme to the television program Akko ni Omakase! throughout the months of October and November.[9]
For both "Ho•n•to•u•so" and "Su•ki•ra•i," misono worked with Susumu Nishikawa of the Japanese band Diamond Head.[10] She had previously worked with Nishikawa for her song "...Suki xxx" and during her time in the group day after tomorrow.[11] On the limited editions of the single, misono performed a solo version of the song "with you," which she had originally performed with BACK-ON in February of that year.[12]
