INI's Fujimaki Kyosuke is sharing another solo release with a familiar collaborator. His new single "Yourself" drops May 25 and marks his second team-up with Da-iCE's Kudo Daiki, who also produced last year's "Pay Back."

According to Fujimaki, "Yourself" delivers encouragement to anyone attempting something new or considering a fresh start. He crafted the song with a broader message in mind: for those feeling worn down by life, it carries the sentiment "no matter what the reason, don't give up on living and enjoying life."

Kudo notes the new track takes a different sonic direction from their previous collaboration, allowing listeners to hear more range in Fujimaki's artistry. He describes the production process as energetic, with Fujimaki bringing serious intention to creating something genuinely satisfying—enthusiasm that fueled the entire creative session.

Fujimaki will host a listening party on STATIONHEAD, a radio-style music streaming app, on May 25 at 9 PM. He'll join in real-time to discuss the track with fans.

Beyond the single release, Fujimaki has another live commitment lined up. On June 25, he'll appear at Zepp Haneda Tokyo for the first show of "claquepot crosspoint 2026," a two-man live tour featuring claquepot, the singer-songwriter who happens to be Kudo's twin brother.

This release continues Fujimaki's growth as a solo artist while maintaining his connection to INI, the 11-member boy group that debuted in November 2021 following PRODUCE 101 JAPAN SEASON 2. The group won the New Artist Award at the 63rd Japan Record Awards and has been building momentum with multiple single releases and arena tours across Japan.
