"Free Planet" is a song by Japanese musical act Superfly. Released as one of the songs on "Wildflower" & ''Cover Songs: Complete Best 'Track 3''', a four-song extended play featuring a cover album as a bonus disc in September 2010, it was used in a high profile commercial campaign for Sony Ericsson cellphones. == Background and development == In September 2009, Superfly released the act's second studio album ''Box Emotions'', their second release in a row to reach number one on Oricon's album chart. This was followed by a single, "Dancing on the Fire", Superfly's second upbeat dance song to be used in commercials for Canon's Digital IXUS range of cameras. On June 18, Superfly released the song "Tamashii Revolution", a song used as the theme song of the NHK broadcast of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, played during relay clips and highlight shows. It became one of Superfly's biggest commercial successes, eventually becoming certified platinum twice by the RIAJ. In July, Superfly's song "Wildflower" started airing as the theme song for the drama ''Boss''. The single's jacket features vocalist Shiho Ochi holding a different object representing each song on the single: a dahlia flower for "Wildflower", a djembe drum for "Tamashii Revolution", a globe for "Free Planet" and on the back cover a rainbow for "Roll Over the Rainbow". The song was written as a message song by vocalist Shiho Ochi, about how if a person does not make any barriers, they can go anywhere. It was recorded in a live take, with musicians such as drummer Tatsuya Nakamura and former Tokyo Jihen member Mikio Hirama.〔〔 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「free planet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
