Though the announcement of their Docomo collaboration came only a few days ago, popular rockers Mr.Children are already back with yet another reveal.  The band are planning to release a new single titled “himawari” on July 26th and, in support of this, have now made the short music video for the title track available on their Youtube channel.

This PV consists of live footage recorded from the Nagoya Dome show of the group’s current Dome & Stadium Tour, the first time which “himawari” was actually performed on stage.  The live version of this rock ballad emphasizes the guitar and drums, this band sound blending well with the Gen Ittetsu-arranged backing strings.

You’ll find the short version of the live music video for “himawari” just beneath the cut.
