The new single from Mr. Children, entitled "Footsteps ~Be Strong", will be released on November 19th.
It's been 2 years and 7 months since their last single, "Inori ~Namida no Kidou/End of the Day/Pieces", was released in April of 2012. This new single will also be serving as the theme song of the upcoming Octoebr 13th drama "Nobunaga Concerto".
Of the songs on the single "Hanatareru" will be used as the theme song. The single will also contain a winter song entitled "Melody". "Hanatareru" will be remastered from it's digital version for the single.
Mr Children, who is currently in the middle of their fan club tour, has been performing new songs other than the ones on the single, so there is a possibility of future releases.
