Ai Higuchi releases music video for "Who is that?", the theme song for the movie "Who is that girl?"

Singer-songwriter Higuchi Ai has released the music video for her latest single, “Dare,” on her official YouTube channel.

The art direction of the music video was handled by Courtship Action/yui, just like the jacket artwork. It was directed by Shiguma Sudo (KYURIMAN), and Chichi appeared in the cast. This is the first time in about five years since “Love Song” that Higuchi Ai plays the keyboard in a music video. Please enjoy the footage of her singing surrounded by flowers in a school that also links to the movie.

The song is a new song written specifically for the theme song of the movie “Who is that girl?”, which will be released on July 19th. It is a song that only Higuchi Ai could create, with no compromise in how she fits into the work. The arrangement, which further enhances the worldview of the movie, was done by Sakurai Kenta.

The film is the latest work by director Takashi Shimizu, who has been leading the Japanese horror genre with the smash hit “Ju-on” series and the Hollywood remake of “The Grudge,” which was released worldwide and became the first Japanese director to top the box office in the United States. The film inherits the DNA of “Minna no Uta,” which was talked about last year as a “really scary horror movie.”

A school horror story about a certain summer vacation where a “girl” who shouldn’t be in the classroom of five boys and girls taking supplementary classes stirs up trouble. This is Shibuya Nagisa’s first leading role in a movie and her first full-fledged acting debut, and she plays Kimijima Honoka, a substitute teacher in charge of the summer vacation supplementary classes. The students taking the extra lessons are played by a fresh cast of actors, including Hayase Ikue, who was selected through auditions to co-star alongside Aragaki Yui in the hit film “Ikoku Nikki,” currently in theaters; Santoki Satoshi, who voiced the main character in Miyazaki Hayao’s “How Do You Live?”, which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature; Araki Hiha, who played the young version of Arata Mackenyu’s role as Yukishiro Enishi, the series’ most fearsome enemy, in “Rurouni Kenshin: The Final/The Beginning;” Imamori Maya, who is about to appear in the fifth installment of the “My Graduation” project, a young talent discovery and training project that has garnered overwhelming support from Gen Z, “The Two Hearts: A Town of Snow,”; and Aoi Shun, who played the childhood of the yakuza played by Suzuki Ryohei in “The Blood of Wolves Level 2.” Additionally, the cast will include a diverse cast including actor Shota Sometani, who was the first Japanese to win the Marcello Mastroianni Award (Best New Actor) at the 68th Venice International Film Festival for his role in the film “Himizu,” and who has appeared in a number of popular productions in recent years, such as “Sanctuary” (Netflix) and “Brush Up Life” (NTV), as well as Matsuo Satoru, Ohara Masako (Kuwabata Ohara), and Makita Sports.

The web version of the theme song trailer for the movie “Who’s That Girl?” has also been released on Shochiku’s official YouTube channel. This too can be said to be the movie version of the music video for “Who’s That Girl?” Please enjoy it as well.
