Last week we reported that pop-rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN would be releasing a new Triple A-side single titled “Hanashi ga Shitai yo / Sirius / Spica” on November 14th. Well ahead of this date, the group have announced that they will be releasing lead song “Hanashi ga Shitai yo” as a digital single on October 15th and, in support of this, published the track’s PV to their YouTube channel.
The magnificent Autumn ballad is paired with a comparably simple music video, featuring shots of the group performing the song while a phenakistiscope projects images onto the wall at their back. Additionally, BUMP also recently revealed that another new song, titled “Gekkou,” will be used as the opening theme song to the currently airing anime “Karakuri Circus.”
You’ll find the PV for “Hanashi ga Shitai yo,” as well as the anime opening which features “Gekkou” if you read on below.
