The music video for “Hamaya feat. Jinmenusagi” from DJ KRUSH’s latest album “Saisei” released in February will be premiered on May 8th (Wednesday) at 20:00.
The music video is by a video director who continues to bring out impressive works regardless of whether it is major or indie, such as Nissy x SKY-HI “Stormy”, Creepy Nuts “Nice Nene”, ¥ellow Bucks “Higher Remix”, and Skirt and PUNPEE “ODDTAXI”. Created by Daiki Kamoshita. Furthermore, Daiki Kamoshita commented as follows. “Based on the theme of ‘breathing’ that I felt from the song, I visualized the spiritual part that is likened to ancient Zen and Buddhist thought.It expresses assimilation with the environment through breathing, the sense of foreignness that humans feel through assimilation, earthly desires, etc. did”.
This is their first album after becoming independent, about four years after their previous album “TRICKSTER”, and is said to be a work in which they faced themselves, sharpened their skills, and overcame the coronavirus pandemic. In Japanese, the word “rebirth” has a wide variety of meanings, including “play” to regenerate music and art, “rebirth” to be reborn, “reconstruction” to be reborn, and “Renaissance,” which can also be translated as literary revival. It is said that in 2024, DJ KRUSH will take the opportunity of becoming independent to “regenerate” and open up his future while repeating “rebirth”. Guest performances include Jinmenusagi, Chinza DOPENESS, and DO.
The album will be released as a 2LP and CD on Wednesday, May 8th. The CD includes three instrumental bonus tracks featuring guest performances.
