The music video for the new song "PLAYERS" written to commemorate the 30th anniversary of YOASOBI PlayStation(R) is now available today at 20:00 PM! A video full of love for games was created by 30 up-and-coming creators from Japan and abroad!

The Music Video of YOASOBI’s new song “PLAYERS,” released on Friday, March 21st, will be released on YouTube at 20:00 PM today! This song is a newly written song born from the project “Project: MEMORY CARD,” a project commemorating the 30th anniversary of the release of the original PlayStation®. With the concept of “saving PlayStation’s memories into songs,” the public is looking for episodes of “a game you want to erase and play again.” The song was produced based on the collected “#MemoryOfPlay.” The song opens with catchy chants, and the repeated chorus phrases create a sense of excitement. This song is filled with a positive message, with the experiences and words taught by the protagonists and stories he encountered in the world of games that push you into your real life and raise your expectations for the future.

In addition, Music Video, which will be released today, will feature director Suzuki Kenta, Tsuribu Tokyo, and producer Inagaki Yuji, and a total of 30 up-and-coming creators from both Japan and abroad, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of PlayStation®. Each creator created this animated video with a sense of games in mind, and is filled with love for games. The storyline is filled with the feelings that are filled with the feelings that are contained in the song, such as, “As an adult, facing reality and trying to forget about the dreams and excitement that he once had innocently had, he recalls the story and protagonist who he once was passionate about through the game, and then he is pushed forward.” We hope you’ll look forward to this special Music Video, which brings together the “love of games” expressed by a total of 30 up-and-coming creators, including creator Tsuribu Tokyo, who also worked on the cover photo of “PLAYERS.”

■YOASOBI Comments

As the name suggests, the title PLAYERS is brought to all players who continue to thrive through their youth along with the game and are still receiving daily stimulation and excitement from the game! This title was created with the hope of this.
Each person has their own unique game titles and scenes, and with the help of 30 creators, this music video was completed. The many things I learned from the gaming experience, and the many emotions I felt as I progress through the story with the protagonist, are always engraved in my memories and heart, and sometimes lends me strength. I’m one of them. I hope that everyone involved will love the game and passion for the work will reach as many players as possible.
