Aimer lights the way with preview of upcoming single!

Popular vocalist Aimer dropped a sneak peek of the music video for her upcoming track “Torches” on her official YouTube channel. As previously reported the single will be dropped August 14 and will be used as the ending theme for NHK’s action anime Vinland Saga. The music video carries the nuances of the world in which the anime is set and mixes images of water and fire, making this visually stunning piece stand out from Aimer’s previous work.

The preview also includes clip-pits of “Torches” B-side tracks “Blind to you” and “Daisy” along with live versions of “Black Bird” and “I beg you”, which took place during the Shanghai portion of Aimer’s “soleil et pluie” Asian Tour earlier in the year.

“Torches” will drop with three editions: a standard CD-only edition, a CD + DVD limited pressing edition, and a CD + DVD limited edition. The limited editions will include the music videos for “Torches” and several other tracks. The limited pressing edition, however, will also include a “no credit” version of the Vinland Saga ending movie, an additional TV-sized version of “Torches”, plus special packaging featuring Vinland Saga.
