I am not sure if this metaphor works, but listening to yahyel's music and watching their videos reminds me of the junior high school students in Ryu Murakami's novel "Exodus in the Land of Hope".

Let me preface this by saying...GapIn the music project "1969 RECORDS," which continued from last year, the "YAHYEL" team has made a variety of innovative attempts that far surpassed last year's.

The music video for "iron," which has already created a buzz in various places, depicts a dystopia without any reservations. Shun Ikegai's vocals, with their beautifully resonant overtones, strongly amplify the magic of the music, and the sense of foreboding that Kento Yamada weaves into every cut extends the distance of the video.
