"'Grudge' is what I wanted to express in this song," says the songwriter Kiwako. And this song fully reflects the negative inner memory hidden inside and the scene that spreads from it.
"Snowman" is a masterpiece by a group of up-and-coming artists. Kota Matsukawa from the Tokyo-based creative label w.a.u., who also produced the song "Balloon Trip," joined forces to produce the soundtrack. The MV, directed by the fashion brand AMNI will be up on Youtube on the same day as the record release.
