TV Asahi Thursday Drama "Roppongi Class" Insert Song "Zankage" Music Video Released!

As an insert song for the TV Asahi Thursday drama "Roppongi Class", it was written with the theme of the turbulent life of the main character, Arata Miyabe, played by Ryoma Takeuchi.
Music video for Motohiro Hata's latest song "Zankage" has been released!

This work is also directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Kenta Suzuki, following "Trick me" and "Cider".
Effectively inserting richly colored color effects while based on beautiful monochrome images,
By arranging the silhouettes of people who come and go without saying a word and the appearance of Hata himself who is hit by a heavy rain at the end,
It is an emotional work that beautifully visualizes the deep anguish and strength of trying to crawl out of the depths of despair expressed in the song.

[Comment from director Kenta Suzuki]
In a dark, achromatic dream, memories of the past are revived in rich colors around you, and violent squalls suddenly rain down.
Beautiful memories repeat over and over again and I can't get them out of my head.
Mr. Hata played the role of the main character who is trapped in the past, "stretching out his hand even if he is hurt."

During the shooting, in order to create a unique image in which time flows differently from the main character and the surroundings, we asked Mr. Hata to sing the song at double speed.

I am very honored to be involved in a project that is a bit different from the "Trick me" and "Cider" that I have directed so far.
Please enjoy the video that Mr. Hata and I tried many times in the water.
