Satoko Shibata Releases Music Video for “Wankoromeetaa” Directed by Nishimitsu Yusuke

The singer-songwriter, Satoko Shibata unveiled the music video for her new single, “ワンコロメーター” (“Wankoromeetaa”) which will be released on November 21 as a 7-inch EP.

In charge of directing the music video was the photographer Nishimitsu Yusuke, who is a source of inspiration for much of Satoko Shibata’s artwork. Appearing in the video are Satoko Shibata and the adorable Shiba Inu, Pan (female, 8-years-old).

This release, which was motivated by a mysterious sense of purpose due to it being the Year of the Dog, contains “ワンコロメーター” (“Wankoromeetaa”), the title track which has already become popular at live performances, along with “セパタクローの奥義” (“Sepatakuroo no Ougi”), an easy-to-relate-to song with an irresistible beat.

According to Shibata, who said, “It won’t be any good if the 7inch EP doesn’t have any weird songs on it”, she was successful at achieving her goal.

Furthermore, just like previous releases, all aspects of this release up until the analog mastering and cutting were under the guidance of Shibata herself.
