Joji Unveils Sizzling Visuals for Seductive New Track “BAE

The director is Margt, the creative unit that also designed the jacket for jo0ji’s “BAE” as well as numerous music videos such as “Fukuni Hana”, “≒”, “Lantern”, “Gaze”, and “Nukui”.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
My father is a fisherman. He has always been undefeated in his hometown.
The sunrise, the sound of a ship’s engine, and the sound of waves are a lullaby.
Beyond the horizon, beyond the white sky, I saw your shadow illuminated by the fishing fire.
“This is how it turned out
I’m sure I saw your punk
to rock and roll
You should try giving it a big punch.”
I feel like I can go further than anyone else right now.
