Aina The End has captivated audiences once again with the release of her new song 'Hanamusou,' accompanied by its music video, which premiered on her official YouTube channel on March 14, 2025, at 8 PM. The new single serves as the theme song for the highly anticipated anime film, 'Geijutsu Gekijoban Mononoke Dai 2 Sho: Hi Nezumi,' which was also released on the same day.
'Hanamusou' is described as a majestic ballad featuring soothing piano melodies harmonized with superior string arrangements, showcasing Aina The End’s remarkable songwriting talent as she penned the piece for the film. The music video is directed by Yoshiki Murake, who brings the song's emotional depth to life through thoughtful visual storytelling.
The music video employs a unique two-axis structure, contrasting scenes of couples who nurture love fearlessly with Aina The End's more introspective and fearful portrayal of love. This narrative dynamic encapsulates the happiness of knowing love and the pain of losing it, as expressed through Aina's powerful vocals. "The music video expresses the happiness of knowing 'love' and the pain of losing it, with couples who fearlessly nurture love and Aina The End who is afraid," reported by Music Natalie.
Aina's visuals have taken on a new dimension with her short blonde hair, which creates a fresh aesthetic distinct from her previous looks. She performs among symbolic imagery, including withered trees and rough fabrics, which amplify the song's emotional resonance. The portrayal of these settings allows viewers to witness Aina’s gradual emotional expression as she shifts from lying down, fatigue evident, to gradually intensifying her performance.
The drama scenes intermingled with Aina’s performance feature notable cast members such as Tenon Okayama and Marie Iitoyo, alongside edhiii boi and upcoming cultural icon MANON, representing various forms and ages of love. Laughter, tears, and moments of anger are depicted vividly, contributing to the rich storytelling found within the video. Aina has expressed her desire to share this emotional narrative with her fans, stating, "I want people to experience the world woven by 'Hanamusou' through the music video."
