Violet sauce will officially as a single be released this fall. Namie was interested by the movie Sin city, she offered to sing the Japanese theme song. The distributors accepted since Namie’s cool and sexy image fit perfectly the movie.

When the director Robert Rodriguez heard ‘Violet sauce’, he was so impressed that he wanted to participate. “This is wonderful. Would you put me in the song too?”. His voice saying ‘Welcome to the city’ has been added to the song.

Namie commented “‘I sung with the inspiration I got from the movie. The story of too pure and strong love in the midst of the violent images really touched my heart. I’m very thankful to have the chance to express the movie’s worldview in a song”.
