To commemorate International Women’s Day on March 8, musician Kaho Nakamura and the luxury brand LOEWE, based in Madrid, Spain, have come together for a special collaboration. The craftsmanship of Nakamura, who meticulously weaves melody and lyrics to create a one-of-a-kind sonic world, resonated here with LOEWE’s craftsmanship, which delicately handcrafts bags and apparel. This film captures, for the first time for the brand, a live performance held at the Ginza flagship store, Casa Loewe Tokyo. Director Yuka Yamaguchi filmed Nakamura’s passionate solo piano performance of “AINOU,” a song imbued with hopes for the future, in a single continuous take.

Released on White Day. We hope you will watch it together with its companion song, “Freedom and Hysteria.”

Like coffee brewed with a paper drip, this music video playfully captures the song’s stylish world, while retaining a hint of bitterness. The Manhattan SoHo-inspired setting in New York was entirely created in Unreal Engine 5. The English parts of the lyrics appear on street signs and displays throughout the city, and the protagonist’s walking pace is perfectly synchronized with the rhythm of the song, pursuing an expression that feels pleasant even just to watch. In addition, the video is filled with foreshadowing related to UFOs and the weather, with careful attention paid to every detail so that the more you watch it, the more new discoveries you can make. Please enjoy this new kind of music video in stunning 4K quality—one that never ends as mere footage of someone walking, but draws viewers into its world and offers endless enjoyment.
