Ahead of the release of their major label debut album “UMA” on June 22, Suiyoubi no Campanella has joined forces with cosmetics company shu uemura. The result is a music video titled “COLORHOLIC.” The video was created to promote shu uemara’s new eye shadow line, “color atelier.” The 100 color line will debut in stores on July 1.

“COLORHOLIC” is an explosion of rich, saturated color! Suiyoubi no Campanella frontwoman Koumai and a team of young women start off in a monochromatic Tokyo that gradually shows its true colors. The vivid hues of the “color atelier” line soon appear all throughout the video.

It’s not said whether this song will appear on “UMA” or not, since the full tracklist has yet to be revealed, but it’s safe to say that it will be.

Check out “COLORHOLIC” below!

Passepied will release their new single “Nagasugita Haru / Hyper Realist” on July 27. The band has now released the music video for the first A-side.
