Strawberry Prince Releases Live-Action Music Video for “AGAIN”

The 2.5-dimensional singing idol group Sutopuri, also known as Strawberry Prince, has released a live-action music video (MV) featuring the members themselves for the first time in about a year and a half. The MV for the new song “AGAIN” was filmed on location at Sutopuri’s agency STPR headquarters in Shibuya, Tokyo, and at Shibuya Scramble Crossing.

The music video is a sequel to the story of the MV for the single “Here We Go!!” released in December 2022, and depicts a woman who was a new employee at the time growing into a capable mid-career employee. The members of Strawberry Prince appeared in a scene dancing on the TV screen in the office, and also danced with the female protagonist and other extras at the climax of the film on a stage that looked like a scramble crossing.

In “Here We Go!!”, the group only appeared in a scene where they watched over the main character, with only the four members who were active at the time. However, in this work, all six members are together and even performed a dance in prince costumes. Fans have expressed their emotional response to the video, with comments such as “It’s been so long since we’ve seen a live-action MV with everyone together that it makes me cry” and “Seeing everyone dancing together feels like a dream.”

The decision to produce this work was made to commemorate the fact that the number of subscribers on the official YouTube channel exceeded 2.8 million. Currently, the number of subscribers has rapidly increased to 3.26 million. Leader Nanamori (29) commented, “Thank you so much for this summer. If you want us to post another live-action MV, please like it.”
