■Pay attention to the messages of mutual love handwritten by &TEAM members and fans.
&TEAM released a special video for the song “Mikazuki no Wish” from their 2nd album “Yukiakari” on December 25th.
“Mikazuki no Wish” is &TEAM’s first fan song whose lyrics are about the promises and gratitude the members wrote towards LUNE (&TEAM’s fan name, E is officially spelled with an acute accent). LUNE is described as a crescent moon, and the lyrics say, “You are the crescent moon, the light that shines on me” and “So let’s move forward, checking each step in your direction, not just ahead.” The future will also be with LUNE. It’s a ballad song that promises to walk together.
The special video for “Crescent Moon Wish” that has just been released starts with EJ setting up a video camera and showing himself, and then shows the members wearing uniforms filming each other in a classroom. .
The video, shot from the members’ perspective, shows their real expressions, which are different from their perfect performances on stage, such as them fooling around together and dozing off.
The lyrics of this song are the members’ promises and gratitude to LUNE, and they sing, “I’ll always be by your side, and I’ll do anything if LUNE makes you smile” (EJ), “LUNE took me away when I was in the dark.” Handwritten messages from each &TEAM member, such as “You always shined on me” (K), were displayed one after another, creating a life-sized love letter video to fans.
At the end of the video, handwritten messages from LUNE are shown, conveying the mutual love between LUNE and &TEAM.
&TEAM has announced that they will release special videos for four new songs in order to express their gratitude to LUNE, who has been with them through the spring, summer, fall and winter series, starting with their first single “Samidare” released in May. On December 23rd, a performance video of the title song “Yukiakari” was released as the first project of this project, and many people commented on various social media that it was “the best present for LUNE”.
&TEAM’s 2nd album “Yukiakari”, released on December 18th, ranked first in the Oricon weekly album rankings announced on December 24th. In addition, on the Billboard JAPAN Weekly Album Sales Chart released on December 25th (collection period: December 16th to December 22nd), it ranked first with 491,677 copies sold.
