Singer-songwriter Mekakushe teamed up with popular character Mamuang for her new song “Kimi wa Shunokeru” (You’re My Snorkel), which was released on January 15!
The catchy, electro dance piece touches on the heart-wrenching feeling of not being able to breathe when a loved one isn’t around. This sentimental song was produced by Kaho Nakamura, Chelmico, Haruno, Harmoe, and Daoko, with Tomggg overseeing the whole collaboration.
The music video and CD jacket were also unveiled on the same day. These were designed by illustrator Wisut Ponnimit, who has worked with other top musical artists like Quruli, Haruoni Hosomo, Gen Hoshino, Ikuko Harada, and the poet Shuntaro Tanikawa.
In the video, his star character, Mamuang, takes a deep dive to participate in an underwater singing competition, where she’s judged by a panel of marine life. The catchy tune is underscored by a sort of melancholy, which is beautifully portrayed in the animation. The whole piece showcases the best of Mekakushe and other hugely talented creators, so we hope that tons of people check it out!
Mekakushe will also be performing with 2.5D artist Yuka Nagase, on Friday, February 7. Their joint concert, “Sekai ga Utsukushii Kara Dayo,” will be held at SHIBUYA PLEASURE PLEASURE, in Tokyo. Their unique worldview will be brought to life through a full band, making this one performance you won’t want to miss!
