The official YouTube channel for musical actor and singer Ikusaburo Yamazaki has started streaming a music video for his new single song, “Crank Up,” which is now featured as the opening theme for the summer 2024 TV anime Twilight Out of Focus. The music video is based on the concept of a dreamlike time seen at twilight, with the sea and a school as the setting for a fantastical world. In a nostalgic image that evokes a sense of nostalgia, Yamazaki play the two roles chasing after an invisible presence, as if someone is gently looking at us through the viewfinder.
