Gakky working together with Ghibli  

Posted by: Pori in , ,

It's been announced that director Momose Yoshiyuki is going to make the music video for Aragaki Yui's new song "piece" that is going to get released on the 25th. There will also be 3 different jackets available for the CD, one drawn by Aragaki herself, one made by Momose and one with a photograph of Aragaki. She's going to aim for the 1st rank in the Oricon charts with that special Ghibli tag for her song.

It was around May 2008, when they started talking about a collaboration. Aragaki narrated a music show on NHK where several artists sang popular songs from Disney and Ghibli movies. After that, Ghibli started to call her and they exchanged ideas. By November it was Ghibli who offered to create a music video for her song "piece".

Momose Yoshiyuki already worked together anime creator legend Miyazaki Hayao and directed "Ghiblies episode 2". He has also already shown his creativity in music videos of Nakata Yasutaka's unit "capsule." Aragaki was surprised that he already has a theme for the video in his head right after listening to the song for one time, but she immediately agreed to his offer.

It's a beautiful video where a rainbow-colored line changes according to the main character's emotions. "It wasn't necessary to discuss the meaning of the song with Aragaki, I immediately had an image in my head", explains Momose. Aragaki says, "I'm so happy and I didn't consider it at all. He just suddenly came to me. I'm really happy". She herself also appears in the music video in a scene where the animation changes into a real image.

As mentioned above, there will be 3 different jacket versions for the CD. When Momose saw Aragaki's own drawn picture, he immediately asked her whether she would want to join the company; that's just how good her drawings are.

As a bonus you will get the word "Loneliness", when you put the 3 back covers of the CD next to each other. Will she be able to reach the 1st rank with the support of Ghibli?
