Today, September 18th, 2024 (Wednesday), FRUITS ZIPPER will release the double A-side single CD “NEW KAWAII / Fruits Basket” and the video work “1st LIVE FILM at Nippon Budokan FRUITS ZIPPER 2nd ANNIVERSARY Super Happy Live ~NEW KAWAII~” which contains the group’s 2nd anniversary live performance. To commemorate the release, they released a teaser video for the music video of their new song “Fruits Basket”, released their first LINE stamps with voice, and announced details of the pop-up store to be held from September 21st (Sat) to 23rd (Mon, holiday).
The double A-side single “NEW KAWAII / Fruits Basket” released today includes the popular song “NEW KAWAII” from the first album, as well as a new song “Fruits Basket” by Yamamoto Sho, who also wrote “Watashi no Ichiban Kawaii Tokoro”. The theme of the new song “Fruits Basket”, which follows “NEW KAWAII”, a song about accepting each other’s good and bad points as “NEW KAWAII” personalities, is “You are the main character”. The song is filled with a positive message that is typical of FRUIT ZIPPER, about accepting the “NEW KAWAII” personalities that have made you who you are and continuing to live your life as yourself.
The music video teaser released today shows the members auditioning in a place that looks like a school. Look forward to the full video to find out how things will unfold. Starting with today’s teaser video, the members’ solo teasers and off-shots will also be released. Check the FRUITS ZIPPER official site for the video release schedule.
