Udagawa Annex Band's 15th anniversary "Shodo" music video has finally been released!!
"No matter how old you are, having the desire to try something is a powerful weapon."
Udagawa Bekkan Band's new song "Impulse," their first release in a long time, is a song that quietly but surely ignites the "origin of emotions" that fade away as we go through our daily lives.
The music video for the new song "Shodo" has been released on YouTube.
Coming to terms with age, time, and reality.
It's always ourselves who turn what we want to do into reasons why we can't do it.
But what if there are feelings deep in your heart that you want to convey to someone?
I want to face those feelings just one more time.
The up-and-coming video team "BLUETAPE" has created a serious yet comical video of this song, which is filled with such feelings.
On Friday, November 28th, a release party will be held at Shibuya Star Lounge, featuring a number of impressive guests including Mummy-D (RHYMESTER), DJ JIN (RHYMESTER), Chozen Lee (The BANG ATTACK, Fireball), and Harashima "Domannaka" Sorayoshi.
