As Friday night falls, office workers quietly switch into "weekend mode" - this very moment is brought to life in a new music video featuring AI singer Kamizaki Mirai, who expresses a wide spectrum of human-like emotions.
The music video vividly portrays the journey from the mundane, often melancholic Monday commute and the struggles of office work, to the liberating weekend. It showcases moments of unwinding in a sauna, and quietly enjoying a drink alone. Through these scenes, Kamizaki Mirai delicately yet dynamically expresses the universally relatable feeling of escaping the weekdays' confinement and regaining one's true self. Pay special attention to her multifaceted expressions, shifting from cool to cute, and the innovative choreography of dancers in business suits, which adds an unexpected spice to the song's world.
Kamizaki Mirai's quietly sung vocal performance makes this track somewhat unique among her works. It beautifully depicts the feeling of finding one's true self amidst the cool evening breeze after a day's work, accompanied by her gentle voice. True to the lyrics, "Alone time isn't so bad," and "I've come to love my solo time," her figure cherishing these moments of solitude deeply resonates with listeners.
The music is completely handmade by composer EUPHONIX, known for his collaborations with world-renowned lyricist Chris Mosdell. EUPHONIX meticulously crafted the melody, arrangement, and lyrics, creating a sound that evokes the nostalgic yet fresh atmosphere of 80s YMO, with its signature chord progressions and synth tones.
MIRAI KAMISAKI is a techno-pop singer with a crystal-clear voice that feels like it came from the future. Her music blends nostalgic, romantic melodies with analog-inspired electronic sounds influenced by 1980s pioneers like YMO. Her latest release, "FRIDAY FREEDOM", captures the moment of emotional release felt on a Friday night after work. The music video follows a young woman as she transitions from her weekday routine into weekend mode: changing clothes, relaxing in the sauna, and meeting friends. With light, minimalist synth-pop textures and a sense of gentle optimism, the song resonates with modern listeners seeking small but real moments of freedom. MIRAI KAMISAKI's vocals, powered by advanced AI synthesis, combine cool clarity with subtle emotional warmth, blurring the line between synthetic and human expression. The track was written, composed, and arranged by EUPHONIX, a producer known for collaborating with Chris Mosdell, lyricist of Yellow Magic Orchestra. Her previous release, "I AM AN AI SINGER", explored a more conceptual theme: the awakening of love in an artificial being, and was praised for its cinematic music video and ethereal soundscape. With both relatable storytelling and futuristic imagination, MIRAI KAMISAKI is a fresh voice in the global synth-pop scene.
