"FRIEND" Tachibana Keita

So as we heard rumours before that Keita is releasing his 2nd single during May. It is true!
As Keita finally updated his solo blog, there's more information about Keita's new single.
The single name is "FRIEND" and it will be a opening theme song for anime "BLUE DRAGON".
As it was said in Keita's new entry in his blog, it is said he really liked the anime "BLUE DRAGON" when he was young.
More surprisingly is that his PV is shooted in Italy, most probably his photobook will be shooted from Italy as well.

Gosh! I'm not really getting up to date with w-inds. anymore, it's been hard to get news about w-inds. after wflforum died. I know Chinese websites is always the up to date but I don't really like searching for a Chinese website.
But when did Keita fly to Italy?

At first I didn't recognise that this person was Keita. But I really like the photo, hopes there's more from the photoalbum.
