BLUE ENCOUNT shows fans just how bright they can shine with new music video!

On the heels of the release of their upcoming single, popular four-member rock band BLUE ENCOUNT released the music video for their upcoming single “Polaris” on their official YouTube channel. As previously announced, “Polaris” is being used as the opening theme for the fourth season of hit anime My Hero Academia and is the the group’s twelfth single overall. The video shows footage of the boys atop a mysterious cliffside beside the ocean interspliced with colorful sketches of the band, holding a tiny hint of A-ha’s hit “Take On Me”’s iconic music video.

As previously reported, “Polaris” will be released with three editions including a CD-only standard edition, a CD + DVD limited edition, and a CD + DVD special edition. Both the standard edition and the limited edition will drop with only two tracks and the DVD on the special edition will be a special studio live to commemorate the band’s fifth year major label anniversary. Not to be outdone by the other two editions, the special edition also will drop with three tracks along with a TV-size snippet of their song “Polaris” being used for My Hero Academia. The DVD will also include a no-credit version of the opening.
