Tsukikage

The creator Shino, whose track "6-ji no Oyatsu/Dessert" has surpassed approximately 5.6 million views on YouTube and whose total track plays exceed 15 million, and Moe, a singer-songwriter and member of the acoustic session unit "Purasonica," which has produced artists such as Ikutari Rira and Miki Maria, form the unit "esoragoto" (pronounced "Esoragoto"). The duo will release their fifth single, "Tsukikage," on March 10th.

After starting their activities in 2023, the unit's song "Lyla" quickly became a smash hit. In just about a year since their debut, the song has reached around 2 million views on video platforms, and esoragoto is quietly expanding its influence, especially within Japan and Korea's online music scene.

The latest single, "Tsukikage," is a catchy guitar rock track with a theme of heartbreak. It depicts the emotional turmoil of a couple who have broken up but are still haunted by thoughts of their ex, trying to move forward. The song's bright arrangement, featuring a prominent piano and bell, contrasts with the raw and vivid portrayal of heartbreak, capturing the unstable emotions post-breakup. This unbalanced yet relatable approach makes it a must-listen for modern teens who enjoy authentic love songs.

The music video for the track is directed by the popular illustrator 3774, who has over 110,000 followers on social media. The MV has already been released in advance on video platforms, and viewers can enjoy the fun and colorful animation that enhances the song's impact.
