	'''Hane''' (''羽, Feather'') is the ninth [[Koshi Inaba#Singles\|single]] by [[Koshi Inaba]], released on January 13, 2016. ~~The single was~~ revealed on November 23, 2015 during an event for the HMV-sponsored radio show ''Happy Hour!'' on InterFM897. Fans were invited to observe as Koshi participated in a live interview where the title song for the single was first heard by the public. The song fuses his signature rock sound with a Eurobeat foundation for a song unlike any of his past work. At the event, it was revealed that the song would begin serving as the theme to the popular anime series ''Detective Conan'' beginning January 9. This would be his second solo contribution to the series after "[[Shian\|Overture]]" was briefly used as an ending theme in 2002.		'''Hane''' (''羽, Feather'') is the fifth physical and ninth overall [[Koshi Inaba#Singles\|single]] by [[Koshi Inaba]], released on January 13, 2016.

This would be his second solo contribution to the series after "[[Shian\|Overture]]" was briefly used as an ending theme in 2002.

	The existence of the single came following the announcement of a new solo tour entitled [[Koshi Inaba LIVE 2016 ~enIII~]]. Plans of a solo project came to light even earlier, however, when it was revealed that Koshi would be providing the theme song to the latest ''Ryu ga Gotoku'' video game (localized as ''Yakuza'' in Western territories) which would become known as ''Ryu ga Gotoku Kiwami''—a remake of the first game in the series for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

	#:A unique entry in Koshi's solo catalogue, the song begins with strings atop a Eurobeat-style backing until later transitioning into a rock song with strong guitar sound provided by LOUDNESS guitarist [[Akira Takasaki]]. Koshi noted in his InterFM radio interview announcing the single that he went into the studio with the intention of recording a standard rock tune, having pre-composed the song on an acoustic guitar in order to establish its overall framework. However, as he was working with once frequent collaborator [[Akihito Tokunaga]], they experimented with a number of different sounds with a synthesizer until dance elements started making their way into the arrangement. This began with the intro but culminated in the Eurobeat-infused approach eventually encompassing the first half of the song. Originally, Koshi expected the song to be a ballad, but once he got in the studio it quickly morphed into what can be heard on the single. Ultimately, Koshi was very pleased with the result and described the creation of the tune as a "really fresh experience".		#: [[File:i17 01.ogg]] A unique entry in Koshi's solo catalogue, the song begins with strings atop a Eurobeat-style backing until later transitioning into a rock song with strong guitar sound provided by LOUDNESS guitarist [[Akira Takasaki]].

On December 25, 2015, Koshi appeared on ''[[Music Station]]'' to perform "Hane" in full for the first time, with once longtime B'z support member [[Akihito Tokunaga]] joining him on bass who also contributed heavily to the four track single. Tokunaga was responsible for collaborating on all four songs' arrangements while playing bass, along with contributing guitar, keyboards, and mandolin to varied tracks. Simultaneously, the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krhKpVGUebQ B'z YouTube Channel] was updated with a two minute music video featuring Koshi against a white backdrop as an animated story plays out in numerous segments.

			Koshi made a further television appearance for a two hour special broadcast of the variety show ''SMAP x SMAP'' that was hosted by members of pop group SMAP. The show typically features a guest artist that is interviewed by the members before joining them on stage for a collaborative performance. Koshi appeared for a brief discussion with the group before a performance of "Hane" in which SMAP provided occasional backing vocals. Takuya Kimura of the group is known to be a friend of Koshi's, who previously appeared in the 2000 television drama ''Beautiful Life'' for which B'z single "[[Konya Tsuki no Mieru Oka ni]]" served as the theme song.
