KAMITUBAKI STUDIO’s new indie game x music project “ANMC” (Anomachi) will release their third single “Outline Seaside feat. kahoca (from EoC), Haruha (from harha)” on Wednesday, August 28th.
This is the second of three songs being released in collaboration with KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO’s game “Moonless Moon.”
“The Smell of the Moon feat. WaMi, ueil” was written, composed, and arranged by “ueil”. This song was written based on the game’s story, and depicts a loose but definite relationship, making it a song that will gently comfort you when you feel anxious or lonely. The song is sung by Awairo’s vocalist, “WaMi”, who has a unique voice that transcends a variety of dance music tracks, including 2step, disco house, and bass house.
■The music video will premiere at 9pm on the day of release
In addition, the music video for this work will premiere on YouTube from 9pm on Wednesday, September 11th, the day of release.
The music video was animated by LINTALO, the ANIMATOR who worked on Yorushika’s “The Old Man and the Sea.” Inspired by the atmosphere of the song and the game’s scenario, the video allows viewers to immerse themselves even more deeply in the world of the work.
Be sure to check out ANMC, a new type of project in which up-and-coming artists and filmmakers express the world of games through their own unique sensibilities.
■Comments from participating artists
ueil (Lyrics, Composition, Arrangement)
I was inspired by the characters in the game and created this while imagining a loose yet definite relationship between them.
We also created the sound with the atmosphere of the game in mind, so we hope you enjoy that as well.
WaMi (Vocals)
I am very happy to be able to collaborate with ueil, who I love and have worked with in the past, on ANMC.
“The Smell of the Moon” is a song that will comfort you when you feel anxious or lonely. I took my time to carefully sing it so that I could convey the lyrics and the worldview of the game.
Mitamago (video production)
Inspired by the atmosphere of the music by ueil and WaMi and the game’s scenario, we aimed to create a video that would allow players to immerse themselves more deeply in the world of the work. Please pay attention to the motifs that appear in the MV and the way the world surrounding Yomichi and Madobe is depicted. We hope you enjoy the development of the game while immersing yourself in the afterglow of the images and music.
