SHISHAMO proves that love will be by their side with new music video!
/Popular three-member rock band SHISHAMO dropped the music video for their upcoming track “君の隣にいたいから” (“Kimi no Tonari ni Itaikara”) on their official YouTube channel. Dropping October 16, the track is already making waves as it was chosen to be this year’s title song for the NHK All-Japan School Choir Competition for the middle school division, a feat only some artists achieve. The video features the gripping theme of “loving time” which director Kyotaro Hayashi brilliantly exhibits with three generations of couples as they go through their everyday life with images of all three band members spliced in every so often. This drama-like approach serves as an example of a nice evolution of their music videos; compare it to the video for their track “私の夜明け” (“Watashi no Yoake”), which Hayashi also produced.
Per the norm of previous single releases from SHISHAMO, “Kimi no Tonari ni Itakara” will only feature a CD-only standard release and will include just three tracks. Check out the music video in question along with the pre-order link for “Kimi no Tonari ni Itakara” below!
