Back in January we reported that folk-pop duo Yuzu would be releasing a new album titled “YUZUTOWN” on March 4th. Now that this date has arrived, the pair have chosen to upload the PV for its lead track “Hanasaku Machi” to their YouTube channel.

Directed by Kyoutaro Hayashi of DRAWING AND MANUAL, the video pairs the lush mid-tempo number with vibrant CG visuals as the group performs the song from the branches of a flowering tree. As the clip progresses, the seasons change and the variety of bloom on display cycles with them.

You’ll find the full version of this colorful music video below.
