Fujii Kaze Drops New Single ‘Michi Teyu Ku (Overflowing)’ & Premieres Music Video
Fujii Kaze digitally released his highly anticipated new single called “Michi Teyu Ku (Overflowing)” on Mar. 15, a song written for the upcoming Japanese feature film April Come She Will. The 26-year-old artist also shared the accompanying music video for the new track helmed by the director of the movie, Tomokazu Yamada.
“When I was asked to write a song to accompany a love story about the absence of love, I was enthusiastic about writing a so-called love song for the first time in my life,” the singer says about the movie theme song. “But what I ended up with was an extension of what I’d been expressing all along. What has a beginning has an end. Love isn’t something you ask for, but something you already have. The more you give, the more it becomes ‘Overflowing.’”
Fujii is set to appear on the series premiere of NHK’s tiny desk concerts JAPAN program, to be aired Saturday, Mar. 16. The series produced by the country’s public broadcaster under license from NPR will be broadcast on the network’s general TV channel in Japan and globally on its international channel NHK WORLD JAPAN.
The “Shinunoga E-Wa” hitmaker also announced additional shows for his U.S. trek in May and June, and will performing two concerts in Los Angeles and in New York, respectively. Fujii also has two major shows lined up for this summer at the Nissan Stadium in Japan, the biggest concerts of his career so far on Aug. 24 and 25, with details to be announced May 10 at 6 p.m. Japan time.
