センチミリメンタル『ツキアカリ』Music Video

This is a track by Centimillimental, the solo project of Atsushi, depicting the vitality that dwells within resignation.

Released in June 2025, Atsushi says he was compelled to write the song by the image of someone who screamed, “I don’t need tomorrow,” and sang.

The poised band sound and radiant brass seem to express a flame of the heart that continues to burn even on the brink of despair.

I believe it’s a song that gently gives a push to those who’ve hit a wall and come to a standstill.
