Cocomi’s New Song “Take Five” Music Video Premiere and Second Pre-Release Single

The music video for flutist Cocomi’s new song “Take Five” will premiere tonight at 8pm. “This song is a jazz standard, so I was nervous about performing it, but Hideaki Hagimori arranged it with the concept of ‘what if a classical composer arranged it for piano and flute?’ and it was a lot of fun. The music video has a completely different feel to my previous videos. It includes footage of my hobbies, so I hope you enjoy the slightly more relaxed atmosphere of this music video. For the costume, I chose a concept that was different from the first and second albums, in keeping with the album title ‘Neos’ (which means new in Greek).” – Cocomi

In addition, the second pre-release single “Martinu: Sonata for flute, violin and piano H.254 – 1st movement” will also be available for download starting today. Influenced by French impressionism and jazz, Bohuslav Martinu composed this unique and fresh piece, in which three instruments play rhythmically together.
