Mao Abe has released the music video for “Somebody Else Now,” the lead track from her original album “NOW,” which will be released on August 7th!


Singer-songwriter Abe Mao has released the music video for “Somebody Else Now,” a track from her 11th original album, “NOW,” which was released on August 7th, on her official YouTube channel.

The song is the lead track of the album, and the music video was directed by Takuro Okubo, who has been in charge of directing since “Not Unusual.”

The music video is a fragmented road movie-style tale of Abe Mao’s journey from one place to another by car, depicting her strength to laugh at change and her memorable smile. While the song symbolizes Abe Mao’s “now,” it also resonates with listeners who have been listening to her love songs since her debut. We hope you enjoy Abe Mao’s latest album and music video to the fullest as she celebrates her 15th anniversary.
