Japan born singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze is set to drop his new song “Michi Teyu Ku (Overflowing)” being featured as the theme of the upcoming movie called April Come She Will on March 15 and shared the cover art for the track.
The new movie due in Japanese theaters Mar. 22 is a love story based on Genki Kawamura’s novel of the same name, co-starring Takeru Sato, Masami Nagasawa, and Nana Mori. It’s the first feature film by Tomokazu Yamada, director of numerous music videos for some of today’s biggest J-pop artists including Fujii’s “Seishun Sick,” Kenshi Yonezu’s “Lemon,” Aimyon’s “Marigold” and more. Yamada also helmed the visuals accompanying Fujii’s new number, which will arrive on the day of the song’s release.
“In writing a song for the movie April Come She Will, I was enthusiastic about writing a so-called love song for the first time in my life, but what I ended up with was the same as what Iʼve been singing so far,” shares the 26-year-old hitmaker, in English, about his upcoming release. “What has a beginning has an end. Love is not something you ask for, but something you already have. The more you give, the more it becomes ‘Overflowing.’”
The “Kirari” singer will also be traveling to the U.S. in May and June to perform in Los Angeles and New York, respectively. The performances will feature the musician with only a piano, like his first overseas trek last year in Asia consisting of 11 shows in 7 cities across the region.
Fujii also announced two shows on Aug. 24 and 25 at the 72,000 capacity Nissan Stadium, his first concerts in Japan in about a year and a half in front of the biggest crowd so far for the artist. The “Shinunoga E-Wa” artist livestreamed a now-legendary solo performance from this venue without an audience on Sept. 4, 2021 in the midst of the pandemic. Ticket information for these shows will be announced on May 10 at 6 p.m. Japan time.
