STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION Spins a Human-to-Human Connection That is Skillfully Expressed Through Visuals Created by Rotoscoping Animation!

“Session” Digital Jacket Cover

Producer, Singer-Songwriter R・O・N’s project STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION released the music video for the digital single "Session" on August 1, which had been released in July last year.

More than a year has passed since the spread of the ongoing pandemic was first confirmed in Japan, and lifestyles and communication between people have changed little by little. The music video had been produced in response to the many requests from listeners to express how it is "now" through visuals.
The music video was created by the up-and-coming videographer MIMEI AOUME. The video was completed remotely by using a technique called rotoscope, in which the movement of the subject was photographed with a camera, traced, and then animated. The story is centered around the new human connections, bonds, and dreams that was gained through the changes which had happened from the pandemic. The music delivers a warm message that you could still feel the connections with someone even though you may be physically away from each other.  

With the theme "enjoy music together and make every day happy" in mind, R・O・N originally revealed the track on YouTube, inviting fans to send in chorus vocals, claps, and their own instrumental play-along tracks. R・O・N skillfully combined all the submissions gathered from his fans, capturing the enduring connection between the artist and fans.

The song continues to receive many comments from fans, such as "Listening to Session, it makes me feel kind”” A song full of gratitude and love” “Though it’s difficult for many people to get together, it’s a song created with a lot of people, formed into gentle and kind song”” The beautiful visuals brought me to tears”” I was able to be part of a song of my favorite artist!”

Awesome City Club

To mark the single’s release, STAMP and Awesome City Club made the following comments.

Comment from STAMP

“This is my fourth Japanese-language single, and it features Awesome City Club, a male and female twin-vocal band from Japan. The lyrics are in a mix of Japanese and Thai, and Awesome City Club’s beautiful and harmonious vocals and guitar combine to make a heartwarming song about overcoming difficult times. The song was created with the hope of boosting your spirits in these challenging times we face all around the world.”

Comment from atagi (Awesome City Club)

“There are many motivational songs in the world, but this is one of the most tender songs I’ve ever heard. It has a life-affirming largeness of scale, but with a warm human touch. As for the collaboration itself, it was incredibly stimulating to experience STAMP’s sense of music, sound and lyrics, which is so different from my own. This is a song that only STAMP could write, and a reminder of what makes him so special.”

Comment from PORIN (Awesome City Club) 

“This is an extremely positive, heartwarming and motivational song that will gracefully enter your ears, so I hope it finds a wide audience. I also hope this song can foster an interest in Thai culture among Japanese people and in Japanese culture among Thai people, and that the cultures of our two countries can grow together.”

Comment from Morishi (Awesome City Club) 

“I was curious as to how our first collaboration with an overseas artist would turn out, but thanks to STAMP’s kind personality, we were able to create something really wonderful. I hope people will listen to it in Thailand, and I hope people in Japan who don’t know STAMP will listen to it too. Everyone, please play it over and over again!”

A music video was also released today. The video combines footage of STAMP that was shot in Thailand and footage of Awesome City Club filmed in Japan. It shows various scenes of a woman’s “stay home” lifestyle in a one-room apartment, with appearances here and there from STAMP and Awesome City Club.
