Kis-My-Ft2 has premiered the music video for their latest song “Loved One” on their YouTube channel. It’s the perfect lead track for their upcoming 10th album “Synopsis,” to be released on May 8.
The lyrics of “Loved One” revolve around being able to challenge various things and move forward with the support of such treasured people. It becomes a party that will continue forever.
Its beat and melody may be likened to the group’s previous releases such as “YES! I SCREAM” and “I Scream Night.” It’s upbeat and festival-like with the whistling at the beginning drawing in the listener’s attention and its chorus having a catchy beat you can’t help but dance to. The song begins with Fujigaya’s call for the lifelong party to start and it all kicks off with Nikaido’s rap. All of their strong vocal prowess builds up throughout the song which all blends in perfectly the more the song progresses.
The music video features the members working in a game company working on their game “Loved One,” even highlighting its main character named “An.” The MV puts the spotlight on the members’ different roles within the company with Kento Senga as the Graphic Designer, Toshiya Miyata as the Programmer, Wataru Yokoo as the Script Writer, Taisuke Fujigaya as the Music Composer, Yuta Tamamori as the Game Director and Takashi Nikaido as the Marketing Producer. The music video shows the different and relatable happenings in project planning such as the stress, frustration, and sleepiness, most seen in Senga’s and Miyata’s scenes. Of course, there’s fun and relief especially when everything finally comes together in the end.
Of course, knowing Kisumai, there are bound to be sweet moments between the members. When Senga falls asleep on his desk, Tamamori puts a blanket and a toy penguin over him. Fujigaya goes on to check on Miyata when he’s all by himself while coding and Yokoo and Nikaido share a smile when the game testing goes extremely well. There’s also one scene where Fujigaya, Yokoo, and Nikaido all bask in the music when Fujigaya plays for them.
CG is also woven into the different acting scenes in the MV where the members work hard to create their game. They’re gathered together in a circle where they piece the character and his world together and the CG helps tie all of the elements of their jobs together. The choreography also incorporates a lot of gaming elements, such as some that resemble plugging in a gaming system and using a controller to move. There’s some choreography with hard head flicking so be careful not to snap your head off when you try to practice it!
