[Official Video] Love Again – Pentatonix

It sings about how one’s sense of self unravels in the wake of heartbreak.

It forcefully asserts, “I’m not the one who’s wrong—the one who needs correcting is you.” Despite being performed by only five members, it has a volume and weight that defy that number.

As you can sense from the making-of footage, it portrays a slightly psychopathic kind of heartbreak in love.

New Year’s Day – Pentatonix 2015 Recap Video

Since their formation in 2011, the a cappella group Pentatonix has been hugely popular not only in their home country of the United States but also here in Japan, and this song is perfect for celebrating the New Year! In their early days, they drew attention by posting cover songs on YouTube, but this track—centered on their own original music—was included on their self-titled major-label debut released in 2015.

It’s a masterpiece with an uplifting message that resonates: say goodbye to the past and move forward on a new path.

As showcased in the opening of the song, the sacred resonance born from the a cappella technique—expressing music using only the human voice—feels especially fitting for ushering in the New Year.

It’s great to listen to on your own, but if possible, we hope you’ll experience the brilliance of this piece in the company of as many people as you can gather!
