Japanese boy band Kis-My-Ft2 have released their new music video for Because I Love You which features on the B-version of their forthcoming single LOVE dropping on July 11.
It has also been announced that Because I Love You will be used in a commercial for LIVE DAM STADIUM that will begin airing from July 11.
Kis-My-Ft2 – “Because I Love You” Music Video -Dance Edition-
‘Love songs in and out’ is the theme for the group’s new single this summer and includes Because I Love You as well as L.O.V.E. which was used for an Uwa Kowa Cool beverage commercial.
Because I Love You talks about young love during our school days, calling it wistful and something we should treasure. This is the first single from the group to be such an emotional R&B ballad.
The music video included on the DVD of the First Press B edition of the single is the dance edition―which is also featured on YouTube―where we get to see their impressive dance skills. The members bring to life the feeling and emotion of the lyrics with their entire bodies. You could call this new grounds for Kis-My-Ft2. Their voices, too, are emotional and sensual. And as well as the main music video, the DVD also includes dance separate parts for the chorus from each member.
The music video is a step up for the members as they celebrate 7 years since their debut. It’s clear to see they have matured and come a long way.
Below are comments from the members regarding the new song and music video.
Kitayama Hiromitsu
“It’s a very cool song, so we shot each and every scene and our performances with great care. Please be sure to check out each of our dance parts.”
Fujigaya Taisuke
“We challenged ourselves to bringing out emotion in this video. I hope you can feel it.”
Tamamori Yuta
“It was very tough conveying the song’s sense of emotion with just singing and the video. I’d particularly like people to pay attention to the emotional scene at the beginning of the song.”
Kis-My-Ft2 are currently on a dome tour titled LIVE TOUR 2018 Yummy!! you&me. They’re set to bring the love to all this summer.
