adieu (Kamishiraishi Moka) releases music video for new song "Senaka"! Also includes first-time band performance with fellow friend Yaffle and others

■ “I want this song to take you to many different places while you feel the summer night breeze and collect fragments of memories.” (adieu)

Adieu, a creative project by Moka Kamishiraishi, has released the music video for their new song “Senaka,” their first in about two years, which was released digitally on July 10th.

The lyrics for “Senaka” were written by PORIN of Awesome City Club, and the music was composed and arranged by Yaffle, who has been the core of adieu’s sound production.

The music video, directed by Tanizaki Hiroshi, also includes the first band performance scenes in an adieu music video, and also features his friend Yaffle and guitarist Nishida Shudai.

The video was shot at KAIT Plaza at Kanagawa Institute of Technology, and the combination of the heavy rain on the day and the architecture of the location is sure to capture the beautiful visuals.

adieu will perform at SUMMER SONIC 2024, which will be held at ZOZO Marine Stadium and Makuhari Messe in Chiba on August 17. This will be the first time that adieu will appear at a music festival.

■adieu Comment
Adieu’s new song “Senaka” has been released for the first time in about two years. It’s a song that makes you think of something far away, but also makes you feel like you’re embracing your own back as you walk forward into the future. It’s a special song.
I hope this song will take you to many different places as you feel the summer night breeze and collect pieces of memories.
■Comment from PORIN (Awesome City Club)
No matter where you look, the images are ephemeral and beautiful.
Adieu’s overwhelming presence shines through and is breathtakingly beautiful.
Going back and forth between fantasy and reality,
The band performance scenes were also powerful and electrifying!
I hope that “Back” will reach the hearts of many people.
■Yaffle Comment
I wrote this song with the intention of breaking new ground for adieu. Her strong singing voice and PORIN’s multi-layered, lyrical lyrics are intertwined, and I was excited by the result, so I definitely recommend it.
I want to share this feeling with you all.
■Comment from Director Hiroshi Tanizaki
The usual group of people gathered around adieu for the first time in a long time, making us feel like we hadn’t seen each other for a long time.
I approached the shoot in a natural manner.
It’s simple – place, people, rain, light – but I think I’ve been able to express the possibilities of time that this song possesses.
