The making of the music video for singer-songwriter ako’s new song “Tokimeki” has been released on YouTube.
“Tokimeki” is an up-tempo, somewhat sad love song that vividly recalls the dazzling love patterns and heartbeats of days gone by. In the making-of video, you can see various appearances of a-ko as she challenges herself to create one-shot-style videos set in a grassy field. Additionally, to commemorate the release of ako’s “Tokimeki”, a share campaign is currently underway.
40 people will be selected by lottery to win a tokimeki card by playing and sharing a-ko’s “Tokimeki” songs on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, LINE MUSIC, and YouTube Music, and sharing and applying on SNS within the period. It’s true. The campaign ends at 23:59 on November 27th, so don’t miss out.
Furthermore, it has been decided that she will hold her biggest tour “ako LIVE TOUR 2025 “LOVE PROPHET”” in Tokyo and Osaka from January 2025. Tickets are currently being accepted for the official final advance (first come, first served). Please check the website and SNS and don’t miss Ako’s live performance.
