cinema staff “Behind” MV

The lead track from the E.P.

“Vektor E.P.” released on November 30, 2016.

The music video leaves a dreamlike impression with its beautiful red-and-blue contrast.

In contrast to the heavy, gritty sound, the vocals feature long tones and somewhat sustained melodic lines, which may also be reflected in the music video.

cinema staff “Miracle” MV (major 1st mini album lead track)

It’s the lead track from their first major mini-album, “SALVAGE YOU.” The sparkling, fast-paced intro leaves a strong impression.

Despite the title suggesting otherwise, the bold, forward-looking lyrics are encouraging, with lines like “I don’t need a miracle—it would just weigh me down” and “Miracles don’t happen, because there’s no reason they should.”

cinema staff “Small Dining Table” MV

Included on their major first full-length album, “Bokyo” (Nostalgia).

A quintessential cinema staff track that suits the sunset—sharp yet permeated throughout with a sense of melancholy.

It depicts a young child slowly accumulating time and becoming an adult, expressing changes in family and home through the image of a dinner table where everyone gathers.

The music video conveys this theme using a family of fish, resulting in a mysterious and slightly heartrending portrayal.

cinema staff “Remains of Hope” MV

One of the lead tracks from the 5th album “eve.” This song is also refreshing and brimming with emotion.

Maybe that’s the concept of the album.

It has a strong, classic guitar-rock vibe, and it’s wonderful.

homesicknesscinema staff26rank/position

cinema staff major 1st full album lead track 'Nostalgia' MV

The title track of their landmark major-label first full album, “Bokyō” (Homesickness).

Beginning quietly and solemnly, the song is reflected in the album jacket, which depicts the cityscape of their hometown, Gifu City.

It exudes a passionate yet slightly wistful atmosphere that contemplates their roots.

AIMAI VISIONcinema staff27rank/position

AIMAI VISION

A track included on the 3rd demo CD, “DAWNY SONG COLLECTION,” this is an alternate take of “AIMAI VISION.” The cool, drumless intro is nostalgic and very stylish, the single-note guitar lines create a mysterious atmosphere, and the chorus shifts into an expansive, refreshing development that feels great.

The song’s gallant vibe matches the worldbuilding and it was selected as the theme for Capcom’s “Monster Hunter: Big Hunting Quest.” From the guitar-led intro it’s already firing on all cylinders—a high-speed, exhilarating rock number.

The quiet interlude after the chorus feels like smoldering fighting spirit and it’s really cool.

dramacinema staff29rank/position

drama

It’s a straight-up rock number featured as the second track on the 4th full album “blueprint.” The performance powers through from the intro to the very end with an exhilarating drive.

It gives the impression of a song that could work as either a drama’s opening or ending theme, and in the final lyric, “Now, the drama heads to its last scene,” you can feel a strong sense of determination.
