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!”
