Japanese beat-maker duo Cosmic Kicks approached Sensu Studio to create a music video for their song “Higurashi feat. natsuyu.” This marked our second collaboration with the duo, and we were excited to bring their vision to life.

Cosmic Kicks describes the song as a reflection on the passage of time and the pursuit of dreams amid life’s daily rhythms. They wanted the song to evoke a sense of fleeting moments, symbolized by the summer wind, while expressing a longing for connection and appreciation for simple, everyday experiences. The bittersweet nostalgia in the track captures the essence of summer, urging us to hold on to precious memories as we grow and change.

To bring this vision to life, we decided to film the music video outdoors, near a beach-like environment, to embody the warmth and freedom of summer. After brainstorming several concepts, we chose to incorporate a super 8 film camera, capturing the nostalgic feel of the song. These vintage-style film snippets of summer moments act as fragments of memory, adding depth and emotion to the video and aligning with the song’s tempo and theme.
