This song expresses the feelings of an older brother living in his hometown who worries about the lives of his younger brother and sister who have moved to the big city.

The scarecrow standing alone in a wide rice field overlaps with the brother himself, who has experienced city life and come to know loneliness.

It is a message song from the brother waiting back home, concerned that his siblings in the city might be suffering the same loneliness and hardship.

The Song of HarajukuInoue Sonoko, Takahashi Kai (LUCKY TAPES), Nakajima Ikkyu, Mossa (Nekura Tōkī), Yumeya Masaru, Shimajii

Minami Hamabe and others play unpopular characters; Gen Hoshino takes on a producer role as NTT Docomo’s new “HoshiPro” commercial series begins.

This work, which expresses Harajuku’s diversity and energy, is a relay-style track by six artists.

Each contributes with different rhythms and visual direction, resulting in a deliberately chaotic piece that completely ignores uniformity.

Released in February 2019 as an NTT DOCOMO web commercial, it was produced as part of a collaboration project with Harajuku’s Takeshita Street.

Featuring iconic Harajuku items like crepes, candy, and tapioca drinks, it’s an exciting piece to watch.

Highly recommended for those who want to fully experience the charm of Harajuku or enjoy a showcase of distinctive, individualistic artists.
