KAMITUBAKI STUDIO’s new indie game x music project “ANMC” (Anomachi) will release their second single “Outline Seaside feat. kahoca (from EoC), Haruha (from harha)” on Wednesday, August 28th.
This is the second of three songs being released in collaboration with KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO’s game “Moonless Moon.”
“Outline Seaside feat. kahoca (from EoC), Haruha (from harha)” is written, composed and arranged by Haruha (from harha). It is a song written based on the game’s story, and is a calm and light-filled song. The song is sung by kahoca, the vocalist of Empty old City, who has an ennui and transparent voice.
■The music video will premiere at 9pm on the day of release
In addition, the music video for this work will premiere on YouTube from 9pm on Wednesday, August 28th, the day of release.
The music video’s animation was produced by “Mitamagō,” who also produced the animation for “PEOPLE 1 ‘Gun no katana’ (Official Video).” The video is a poignant one, as it depicts the characters struggling with various conflicts, but also gives the impression of a moment of hope as the light shines through.
Be sure to check out ANMC, a new type of project in which up-and-coming artists and filmmakers express the world of games through their own unique sensibilities.
■Comments from participating artists
Haruha (from harha) (Lyrics, Composition, Arrangement)
Yomichi searches for a place to belong, his inner turmoil, his days are unclear, and his feelings cannot be put into words.
I depicted all of these groping, borderless, elusive things as the shoreline.
This song is like a light that moves forward in the midst of confusion, stumbling, struggling, and sometimes looking back.
Please enjoy kahoca’s delicate and profound singing voice and Kazuhide Oka’s lyrical and lovely scenario.
kahoca(from EoC) (vocals)
Haruha’s song “Outline Seaside” is a gentle song that will wander alongside you as you go from the point where you are aimlessly wandering around searching for a place to belong to to the point where the path forward gradually opens up for you.
I would be happy if the wonderful world view and scenes of Moonless Moon could connect with someone’s memories.
Mitamago (video production)
Kazuhide Oka’s calm and warm scenario, Hizumi’s adorable characters with an air of ennui, Haruha’s gentle yet powerful music, and kahoca’s graceful vocal expression. Everything is wonderful, and I am very honored to have had the opportunity to be involved in the music video production.
