Japanese
alternative rock band yutori has released the official music
video for their latest track "Tsuki to Watashi no Kakurenbo" (translated
as Hidden with the Moon), which serves as the closing theme for
the second soundtrack of the anime WITCH WATCH, currently
airing.
The music
video is now available on the band's official YouTube channel, and
features a theatrical-style story where a man and a woman share an intimate
night on stage, amid dim lights and contained emotions.
A song
about the love hidden in everyday life
Yutori's
vocalist and guitarist, Kotoko Sato, was in charge of writing the
lyrics of the song. In his words: "In our daily lives we can
laugh, enjoy and also fall in love. This song was born focusing on that kind of
common life that sometimes hides deep feelings."
The song
was released digitally on June 29, and its CD version will
go on sale on August 27, in the middle of the series' run. This piece
represents the band's second work in the world of anime.
From
indie scene to success in anime
Formed
on December 7, 2020, yutori began her career on
the independent circuit until signing with Sony Music's Ki/oon
Music label. His anime debut came with "Speed," the
ending theme of the My Hero Academia: Vigilantes anime in the
spring 2025 season.
With "Tsuki to Watashi no Kakurenbo", the band consolidates their melodic and emotional style, aligned with the magical atmospheres of WITCH WATCH.
