The first official music video for the hit song "Genesis of AQUARION" is released! 15th Anniversary Album to be Released!

This is surprisingly the first official video for the song, in which the members of bless4, led by AKINO, perform a newly choreographed dance. The choreography for the snappy dance moves was done by AIKI, the younger brother of the members, and the powerful and fluid moves, honed through their specialty of Tae Kwon Do, are a sight to behold. The sign language in the chorus part "I love you~♪" is also impressive.

Another highlight of this film is that it was shot on location at famous places in Tokyo. The film was shot on location at 10 locations around Tokyo, including Tokyo Station, Asakusa Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate), and Ameyoko (Ameyoko Market). The combination of breathtaking scenery and performances is a must-see.
In addition, the members change into various costumes depending on the location. From medical professionals and elementary school teachers to office workers and construction workers, the audience can enjoy the constantly changing cosplay.

＜Comment from AKINO
We can sing like this for a long time because you listen to our music (your ears) and we can sing like this (our years). The album on March 24th is full of my history and contains 38 songs! In the music video over 15 years, I collaborated with the voice I had when I was 14 years old and the way I look now! Watch and imitate my new dance moves too! I love you all ♡"
