J-Pop sensation Ado has officially released the captivating music video for her latest single, “Kaze to Watashi no Monogatari” (which translates to “The Story of the Wind and I”). This powerful track serves as the theme song for the highly anticipated second live-action theatrical film based on “The Silent Service” (known as Chimmoku no Kantai in Japan).
The music video takes viewers on a touching journey, following a young girl who traverses the world’s vast oceans aboard a ship, her bag brimming with letters. The visuals beautifully complement the song’s emotional depth, creating a truly immersive experience that echoes the film’s themes.
The creation of “Kaze to Watashi no Monogatari” brought together an impressive array of musical talent. Legendary vocalist Hiroji Miyamoto from Elephant Kashimashi penned the lyrics and composed the music, marking a significant milestone as his first time providing a song for a female artist. Adding another layer of artistry, acclaimed singer-songwriter Mafumafu masterfully handled the song’s arrangement.
Ado herself shared her heartfelt thoughts on the music video’s release: “The music video for ‘Kaze to Watashi no Monogatari’ is finally out! The beautiful illustrations were brought to life by Sakutaro Nakatsuji-sama, and nmr-sama did an incredible job with the video production. The story follows a girl who delivers letters while sailing the seas. Watching it, I feel a refreshing breeze blowing from the screen, accompanied by soft sunlight. It fills me with a wish that people’s lives, their peaceful routines, and their small moments of happiness can continue forever. I truly believe this video will gently brighten a part of everyone’s everyday life!”
