Kaze Fujii and Elmiene release collaboration track "Comets + Gold," sparked by Fujii’s cover video
The music video for Kenshi Yonezu's new song "Karasu" has been released on YouTube.
"Karasu" was written as the "2026 NHK Soccer Theme." The work affirms the idea that each person can remain an independent individual even while being part of a group sharing the goal of "winning." While the title "Karasu" (Crow) takes the emblem of the Japan national team as a motif, it also overlays Yonezu's own image of crows as "familiar, unpretentious beings" in his daily life.
Set in a shipyard where a giant ship is constructed, the music video visualizes the accumulation of time hidden from the surface through "cross-sections" of objects. By showing how countless processes and hours stack up in places where the ship is not yet visible until it finally takes a single shape, the "unseen time" leading up to that point is expressed. Tomokazu Yamada directed the music video.
