Additionally, the music video for the song “Torch Song” from the EP was released at midnight on October 2nd (Wednesday). Regarding the song, Vocalist Kamoshita said, “It’s a heartbreak song that depicts a relationship between two people that can never go back to the way it was before.It’s based on a story about a best friend, and it’s a song about the feelings you’ve had until now, even when the magic of love disappears.” I wrote the lyrics with the feeling that heat is never wasted.The band’s sound and melody are also impressive.”
The director was Hiyori Fujimura, who is young but has worked on music videos for a variety of artists. As the lyrics progress, the expressions and sense of distance between the men and women change, and the scenes of the members performing in a magnificent scenery are must-sees.
