The video was filmed in Okutama, reuniting with the production team behind “Dong Chang Swag,” which caused a huge buzz when it was released last year. One of the themes was to incorporate the “sakura” mentioned in the title into the visuals, and production was timed to coincide with the peak cherry blossom season. As a new filming technique, drone aerial footage was used for the first time in a THE CHERRY COKE$ music video, and its stunning visual beauty is a must-see! The scenario and direction clearly convey the feelings behind the title “Sakura Boat” and the song’s passionate message. On top of that, carefully crafted filming techniques are interwoven with exquisite balance. Furthermore, there is said to be a twist at the end that will make you think, “No way...,” so be sure to watch the music video and see for yourself! Around this time of year, about a month has passed since the start of new jobs and the new school year, and it can also be a period when people begin to struggle with all kinds of worries and anxieties. Precisely because this is the time when such concerns start to surface, “Sakura Boat ～Sail Of Life～,” filled with THE CHERRY COKE$’s passionate message, should help you remember your初心 once again and give you the push to stand back up, look ahead, and move forward!

The MV was filmed with a one-day exclusive rental of Coyote Ugly Saloon Roppongi, a bar chain operating in 13 countries around the world. As with the song title, the theme is “a wild party,” and the video captures the struggles of an injured salaryman who resolves to turn over a new leaf and be reborn as a new version of himself. In addition to all of the cast members who appeared in the live scenes, friends and acquaintances of the band members, staff present on the day, and fans recruited through an open call also took part. KAT$UO commented, “It turned out to be a music video that I can say I’m more satisfied with than any other in THE CHERRY COKE$ history!”

This song is included on DOTAMA’s new mini album “MAJESTIC,” which will be released on December 5 exclusively through the online shop of Subenoana and at live venues. The music video, directed by the design unit Tototo, who also created the album jacket, is a grand visual work depicting DOTAMA and Sekitori, each on a distant star, sending their thoughts to one another.
