Singer-songwriter and seiyuu Maaya Sakamoto has revealed a short version of her upcoming new single ‘Million Clouds‘. The title song will be featured also as an opening theme in the summer season anime ‘Amanchu!’. ‘Million Clouds’ goes on sale on 27th July. Check out the premise of the soothing, summery ballad after the jump!
A 1:30 short version of the music video and a 30 sec TV-SPOT are now available for streaming on Maaya’s Youtube channel to give the fans a glimpse of the song and ease their waiting. ‘Million Clouds‘ has been composed by the Swedish artist Frida Sundemo with the lyrics written by Sakamoto.
