Shalala! Yareru Hazu sa / Ee ja nai ka Ninja nai ka (シャララ！やれるはずさ／エエジャナイカ ニンジャナイカ; Shalala! We Can Do It / Who Cares, Aren't We Ninjas?) is Kobushi Factory's 4th single. It was released on June 14, 2017 in 5 editions: 2 regular and 3 limited. The first press of the regular editions included a random trading card of 9 kinds depending on the jacket (18 total). The limited editions included an event lottery serial number card.
"Ee ja nai ka Ninja nai ka" is the theme song for the JK Ninja Girls film. The B-sides "Yami ni Nukegake" and "Pitch Pichi Tomodachi" are from the musical and are also used as insert songs in the film.[1]
This is the last single to feature Fujii Rio, Ogawa Rena, and Taguchi Natsumi.
