At “Niconico Chokaigi 2024” held on April 27th (Saturday), they announced the release of the music video for the new song “Frustration”, which is the 6th installment of the Shinsho Aimarin Project. On the same day, distribution began on SANYO’s official YouTube channel.
The stage of this MV is a live house filled with fans. Keeping with the concept of “breaking down the wall between reality and virtuality,” Aimarin and Ichika Zero are depicted singing powerfully with real band members.
The song was composed by Hige Driver, who has become familiar with the Shinsho Aimarine Project, and Yasushi, who worked on The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls’ “Anemone Star.” In addition, Mr. Sanso Nakamura, who plays the role of “Shizukaraikatemari” from Ikebukuro Area of the Denon Club, will also participate. It is a hard song with a theme of “anger” that has not been found in previous iMarine projects.
The song will be distributed on Sunday, April 28th. Please enjoy it along with the MV that will be released in advance.
In addition, as an after-party for Niconico Chokaigi 2024, a VR DJ event will be held from 20:00 on April 28th at the newly opened live house “CLUB Shinkai” on VRChat. Ichika Zero will also be taking on the challenge of being a DJ for the first time, and in addition to performing as a DJ with remixes of past songs from the iMarine Project, he will also be inviting guest DJs such as 0b4k3, owner of the world-famous VR CLUB “GHOST CLUB,” to show off the project’s history. This will be the first VRDJ event.
The first part, in which Ichika Zero will be the DJ, will be streamed live not only on VRChat but also on YouTube.
In addition, the world of “Crystal Palace”, which was the setting for the music video of the previous work “Dancing Crazy”, has also been released on VRChat, and has received feedback from VR fans all over the world. “CLUB Deep Sea”, which is also used as the venue for the after-conference evening festival, will be released as a new VRChat world. It is scheduled to be released to the public worldwide from midnight on Monday, April 29th.
◾️Imarine: Aya Uchida comment
The quality of iMarine Project’s MVs is always amazing, but this one is also really cool…!
Eyemarin’s first band composition! !
What’s more, the band members and the customers at the live house are real people, and you can enjoy a truly mysterious feeling when you see virtual Aimarin and Ichika side by side…!
I’m also very interested in the live house in VR Crystal Palace, so please come and check it out!
◾️Ichika Zero: Comment from Iori Saeki
The quality of Imarin Project’s MVs is always amazing, but this time in particular, the reality of the two of them performing at a live house was really strong, and it felt like you could meet them just by going there. That’s how I felt.
The neon rock style of Crystal Palace is really nice. If you look closely at the signboard behind it, you’ll be surprised.
Please take a close look.
It’s a rock’n’roll song, so Ichika sings it cool, but I personally admire how her expression changes as she sings as the number of songs increases. She’s so excited, so cute.
It’s a song that the more you listen to it, the more you want to hear it. I hope you enjoy it a lot.
Furthermore, this time we will also conduct interviews with Hige Driver and Yasushi, who worked on this song, and video director Toshitaka Shinoda. In addition to talking about new songs, he also talks about music videos and songs that he has fond memories of, making this a must-see for fans.
