Kenshi Yonezu releases MV for new song 'Yotaka,' theme song for movie 'Kingdom: Tamashii no Kessen'
The music video for Kenshi Yonezu's new song "Yotaka," which was released digitally on July 13, has been unveiled on YouTube.
"Yotaka" is a song written specifically for the movie "Kingdom: Tamashii no Kessen," which will be released nationwide on July 17. Yonezu projected himself onto the ambition of the protagonist Shin, who aims to become a Great General of the Heavens, vividly engraving the conflicts and wavering emotions harbored by humans into the song. Based on breakbeats, the track is finished as a large-scale rock number that combines East Asian tones such as the shinobue.
The MV features visuals depicted from an archaeological perspective. The video was directed by video creator and film director Oudai Kojima, marking his first collaboration with Yonezu.
Oudai Kojima comment
Thinking of us 2,000 years in the future, who will someday be turned into museum exhibits. Hoping that even a weary heart can look up at that vast sky.
