Yasuda himself also served as the director of this music video, which is a mash-up of footage from the film, including exclusive scenes added just for this.

“This song was born out of various thoughts and feelings that sprouted within me at the time when the tour was just over,” said Eve. “And also, there are a number of things in common with this film. I created this song with prayers and wishes, confronting the reality of the present moment, which is not a matter of course, and my state of mind that change as I face other people. I hope ‘Hanaboshi’ will reach far and wide.”“Hanaboshi” is included in his fourth major album “Under Blue” released in Japan on November 27, 2024.
