AZKi says goodbye to her heroes in latest music video!

/

After her collaborations with other VTuber on Usagi Produciton’s VirtualREAL.00 album, popular virtual YouTuber AZKi was back at it again with a brand new song titled “さよならヒーロー” (“Sayonara Hero”) this past week. Not only was “Sayonara Hero” readily available, but a new music video dropped on her official YouTube to accompany its release.

As with several other releases from her this past year, “Sayonara Hero” was written and produced by music creative team SCRAMBLES, the group behind several tracks by popular idol groups such as BiSH, BiS, and Gang Parade. Satoshi Toyosumi of SCRAMBLES took writing duties for the track and recently produced several tracks off of both GANG PARADE’s and BiSH’s latest mini-albums.

Per the norm of SCRAMBLES’ produced tracks, “Sayonara Hero” has a fusion style pop melody via a fast tempo guitar riff mixed with a powerful and moving piano melody to deliver something nostalgic yet fresh at the same time.
