Motto Moriagaro (stylized in caps) is a reissue of Japanese–American singer-songwriter Ai's tenth studio album, Moriagaro (2013). It was released on November 20, 2013, by EMI Records Japan, four months after the original album. The reissue features two new songs, including promotional single "Run Free" featuring Miliyah Kato and Verbal, two remixes and a piano version of "Dear Mama". For physical release, a second disc includes special DJ mixes by DJ Hirakatsu.
Ai previously released her tenth studio album, Moriagaro, in June 2013. In October 2013 it was revealed the album would be reissued, titled Motto Moriagaro.[1][2] Two of the bonus tracks previously were used in TV commercials prior to the release of the album reissue. "Get Your Hands Up" was used as the Ya-man Dancing EMS CM song and "Run Free" was used as a song promoting Reebok Classic.[3]
Similar to the original album, recording took place mostly in Tokyo, as well as in West Hollywood, Atlanta and New York City.[4] The album was primarily produced by longtime collaborator Uta, who Ai has worked with since 2009 and various American producers.
Ai's Moriagaro Tour began in October in Kanagawa, Japan, and included 33 dates. The final concert was held on December 18, 2013, at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo.[5]
