We previously reported that alternative rock band Halo at Yojohan will be releasing their major debut record “swanflight” on October 17th. Though they’ve already published the music video for its lead track “Kanashimi mo Itsuka wa,” the group have now revealed an additional PV for the album’s opener “Fuse.”
