AKINO from bless4’s hit song “Genesis of Aquarion” is a long seller in the anime music industry and a popular tune at karaoke even today.

AKINO from bless4 “Genesis of Aquarion” Music Video (Short Ver.)
In this first-ever official music video, bless4, led by AKINO, shows off their new dance choreography. AIKI, the younger brother, choreographed the energetic dance moves, and bless4’s powerful and flowing movements, honed through Taekwondo practice, are a sight to behold. The sign language shown during the “aishiteru” part of the chorus is also impressive. Another highlight of the video is that it was shot against the backdrop of several famous landmarks in Tokyo. The ten locations include Tokyo Station, Asakusa Kaminarimon, and Ameyoko. This combination of breathtaking scenery and spectacular choreography is a must-see. The members also change into a variety of costumes, from medical workers to elementary school teachers.
Furthermore, bless4’s 15th anniversary album Your Ears, Our Years will be released on March 24 to commemorate AKINO’s debut. It will contain a total of 38 songs, including her debut song “Genesis of Aquarion,” Kantai Collection’s opening theme “Miiro,” and a new song titled “Your Ears, Our Years.” The limited first edition comes with a Blu-ray disc that includes the music video for “Genesis of Aquarion.”
AKINO provided a comment to all of her fans:
“It’s thanks to you listening (your ears) that we’ve been able to sing for so long (our years), and we will continue singing with these thoughts in our hearts! The album that will be released on March 24 is packed with 38 songs that showcase our history. Please get your hands on a copy! The music video, which only came 15 years later, is a combination of my 14-year old voice and my current dance moves! I hope you’ll watch the dance and try to imitate it! I love you guys♡”
