It has been announced that a collaborative music video between Hitsuji Bungaku and the British character Shaun the Sheep will have a worldwide YouTube premiere on Hitsuji Bungaku’s official YouTube channel at 8pm on June 26th.

On June 6th, which is Sheep Day, a dream collaboration between “Shaun the Sheep” and Hitsuji Bungaku was realized. Following the release of a cover version of the theme song of “Shaun the Sheep”, the long-awaited music video will premiere on YouTube at 8pm on June 26th.

Sean wanders into the somewhat bored-looking Hitsuji Bungaku group Moeka, Yurika, and Hiroa, and becomes interested in the band and their instruments. When the mischievous Sean touches the guitar, the three of them begin to change their minds… The setting for this music video is a special worldview based on original art by popular illustrator Yu Fukagawa, known for his soft touch. What kind of “dream collaboration” will Hitsuji Bungaku and Shaun the Sheep, two groups that transcend the boundaries of genres, create? Be sure to enjoy this special music video.

In addition, advance reservations for collaboration goods using original art created by Yu Fukagawa featuring Shaun, members of Hitsuji Bungaku, and Hitsuji Bungaku’s official character “Hitsuji-chan,” who is also popular on Hitsuji Bungaku’s merchandise, will begin at the “Shaun the Sheep Shop” that opens on ZOZOTOWN at 12:00 on June 26th. Official LINE stamps using the illustrations will also be available from June 27th.

■ Comments from Hitsuji Bungaku
I think we will be able to enter the world of Fukagawa-san, who drew the collaborative art, and present a cute worldview that is a little different from the usual Hitsuji Bungaku. This is the first time that Sean has performed with a human, so I am very honored that this music video will also be released worldwide. If you watch this music video after listening to the song, I think you will be given a different worldview and impression, so please check it out.

I’m sure fans around the world will enjoy the new song and Sean’s fun, new style music video. This was made possible thanks to our wonderful partners, including Yu Fukagawa, who created a wonderful worldview with his unique and wonderful illustration style, and produced a unique Sean like never before. I’m really happy to have been a part of this special project, from the birth of the idea for the collaboration to the release of the work.
