URBANGARDE releases first animated music video "BAERUNA" directed by Danjou Oozora

URBANGARDE has released their first animated music video “BAERUNA”, directed by popular digital animator Danjou Oozora.

“BAERUNA” is the third music video to come from AVANTDEMIC, the band’s 10th album released on November 25. Oozora, who has previously created visuals for DECO*27, Kuhaku Gokko, and numerous Vocaloid productions, is a longtime fan of URBANGARDE’s work and wanted to “express their magnificent lyrical world through the technique of modern animation”.

AVANTDEMIC is URBANGARDE’s response to the state of human connection and disconnection as modern society is affected by COVID-19. The jacket image was designed by collage artist Q-TA, depicting vocalist Yoko Hamasaki in the “masked kiss” of lovers in the pandemic. The artist images were captured by acclaimed photographer Ayano Sudo as part of the CD’s 16-page photo booklet.
