“Glare Girl” Music Video


The new song “Glare-kko” depicts the love story of a man who falls in love with the beautiful and dangerously attractive “Bekhin-san.” The song’s fake expressions and mixed feelings of love and hate are elegantly colored by the vivid sound and wordplay, making it a noteworthy number.
The artwork and illustrations were created by Sora Tomonari himself.

The music video that was released is an animated work created by a collaboration between manga artist Momoko Koda, who has worked on hits such as “Sensei Kunshu” and “Heroine Shikkaku” and is currently serializing “Kimi ga Tokubetsu” in Bessatsu Margaret, and a video director from Katsushika who has worked on music videos for many popular artists such as Kitani Tatsuya, never young beach, Kimura Kaela, and Yuri.
The worldview of “Glare Girl”, Momoko Koda’s illustrations, and the visuals and motion graphics by the Katsushika native create a chemical reaction that has resulted in a highly addictive music video that exudes dangerous beauty.

In addition, the song “Oni no Utage”, which was released in January, has dominated the top rankings for the first half of 2024, ranking first on Billboard JAPAN’s “Heatseekers Songs” for the first half of 2024, second overall in the JOYSOUND Karaoke first half ranking “Songs released in 2024”, third in the DAM Karaoke ranking for the first half of 2024 “Songs released in the first half”, and fifth in the “Newcomer Ranking” in the artist sales category of the “Oricon First Half Ranking 2024”.
Additionally, on YouTube, the lyric video has been viewed 41 million times and the music video has been viewed over 11 million times, with the total number of views of related videos, including cover videos, exceeding 720 million.


– Comment from Tomonari Sora –
Momoko Koda’s adorable illustrations and Katsushika-nishika’s dreamy images. The worlds they create blend beautifully together to create a music video that fully captures the image of the song, “A beautiful yet dangerous love.” Once you enter, you can’t leave this glamorous and mysterious space. Welcome to the land of “glaring girls.”


– Comment from Momoko Koda –
I drew a pop illustration for the lyrics and music that truly express the worldview of “Tomonari Sora”! I was really worried about whether my shoujo manga illustrations would match Tomonari Sora’s stylish worldview, but I was really impressed with how wonderful the MV turned out. I’m glad I had this opportunity!


-Comment from Katsushika-born –
It’s like a mysterious being is pulling you by the hand, or maybe you’re the one who’s been drawn in? I don’t know anymore! I’ve done it! … I’ve been drawn into another world and I can’t get out, but the conflict just keeps on going, and I’m gradually being swallowed up by that conflict… I made a video that captures the atmosphere of that song. Please check it out!
