Hane (羽, Feather) is the ninth single by Koshi Inaba, set for release 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 "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.
The single was announced with three different versions available across various formats: a CD only edition, a limited edition with previously unreleased concert footage from earlier dates of Koshi Inaba LIVE 2014 ~en-ball~ available on either DVD or Blu-ray, and a special Ryu ga Gotoku Kiwami-themed edition that does not feature the normal limited edition's contents and instead replaces them with an interview with the game's director and a music video for "Receive You ［Reborn］"—a remake of a song featured in the Ryu ga Gotoku franchise. The latter edition comes packaged with both a DVD and a Blu-ray, though the contents are the same and are provided in both formats as a convenience. Notably, this would be the first Koshi Inaba or B'z single or album to be issued in DVD and Blu-ray limited editions simultaneously. Prior to this single, the bonus discs for various singles and albums for both acts had previously been issued only on DVD.
On December 25, 2015, Koshi appeared on Music Station to perform "Hane" in full for the first time. Simultaneously, the 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.
Track listing
- Hane — Feather, 羽
- Symphony #9
- BLEED
- Suiro — Waterway, 水路
- Of the song, Koshi was quoted as saying: "I painted the main character of the song as a person who believes in tomorrow and tries to do something with his life, although he regrets his past and is in fear of loss amidst the two views on passing time: flowing time and accumulating time. I'm looking forward to hearing it in the drama."
Limited Editions
| DVD / Blu-ray Editions | Ryu ga Gotoku Edition |

 The DVD and Blu-ray bonus discs in the primary limited editions include five previously unreleased performances from earlier showings of Koshi Inaba LIVE 2014 ~en-ball~. The performances were not included on the tour's home video release as it captured only the tour finale in full.

 The special Ryu ga Gotoku themed edition contains both a bonus DVD and a bonus Blu-ray in one package. The DVD and Blu-ray both share the same contents which differ from those of the primary limited editions.
