STU48 unveiled their debut single.

It is entitled Kurayami (暗闇) and will be released on January 31.

Idol group STU48 represents a new innovation of the AKB48 franchise: for the first time since the creation of the franchise, a group 48 has its own theater located in a cruise that will cross seven prefectures including Yamaguchi, Hiroshima, Okayama, Hyogo, Tokushima, Kagawa and Ehime.

The single will be sold in seven editions. An edition will also be sold at their theater.

It contains the song Setouchi no Koe, which already appeared on AKB48‘s single Negaigoto no Mochigusare o released last May.

It also contains different versions of the eponymous song STU48, each corresponding to the seven prefectures visited by the group’s cruise. This song received a Japan Record Award for Excellent work.

The DVD will contain the MVs for the songs Kurayami and Setouchi no Koe as well as various videos of their recent tour.

In addition, note that Sashihara Rino left the position of Theater Manager and member of the group last November.
