"Kyūkon / ? cm (球魂: やる気, 元気, その木の根っこ / ?cm Kyūkon: Yaruki, Genki, Sono Ki no Nekko / ? cm, (Soul Spheres: Motivation, Energy, Root of a Tree)" is misono's twelfth solo single released on February 25, 2009. "Kyūkon" was used as the theme song for the anime "Elite Yankee Saburo", while "? cm" was used as the opening song for the Fuji TV program "Sakigake!" for its second season.

Kyūkon (球魂) literally means "soul sphere", but another word with the same pronunciation (球根) means "bulb". This is depicted on the cover, as you can see a plant bulb with shoots.

Additionally, the second song found on the Kyūkon / ? cm DVD, "Tenbin: Tsuyogari na Watashi x Yowagari na Kimi", was subsequently released as misono's solo song on her collaboration single with Kumi Koda, "It's All Love!"
