After their debut album ''Kyōiku'', two of the original members of the band made decisions to leave, and were replaced by pianist Ichiyo Izawa and guitarist Ukigumo. The new line-up released the single "Shuraba", a song used as the theme song for the drama ''Ōoku: Hana no Ran.'', and the band's second album, ''Adult'' (2006). ''Adult'', while featuring lyrics entirely written by Sheena and the band collaborating to arrange the songs, also featured "Himitsu", which was arranged solely by Izawa, and "Tegami", which was composed by Izawa and arranged by Sheena. In late 2006 and 2007, Sheena briefly resumed solo activities in collaboration with Neko Saito, on ''Heisei Fūzoku'' (2007), a soundtrack album for the Mika Ninagawa film ''Sakuran''. The "OSCA" single was first announced on May 17, 2007. The ''Variety'' project for the band involved the band members other than Sheena amassing demo tapes, and the band making careful selections. For the project, Sheena worked as a vocalist and a lyricist.〔 After the band's tour for ''Adult'', ''Domestic! Just Can't Help It'', finished on May 30, 2006, Sheena requested band members Ukigumo and Ichiyo Izawa write songs for the band's next studio album. While Sheena is the primary songwriter for her solo career and for Tokyo Jihen's first two albums, she occasionally goes through periods of not being able to write music. During the single's release schedule, the Toshiba stake of Tokyo Jihen's label Toshiba EMI was bought out by the EMI group. The label was renamed EMI Music Japan on June 30, 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「OSCA (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
