KOTORI shows fans just how their style is with latest music video!

Four-member rock band KOTORI dropped the music video for their track “涙があふれそう”  (“Namida ga Afureso”) on JMS’s official YouTube channel. Set to be one of the lead tracks for their upcoming album REVIVAL, “Namida ga Afureso” keeps the indie vibe strong with a high pace composition and rhythm. Its cinematography gives out the perfect home movie feel as it shows the band recording their latest hit at one of the member’s houses.

Dropping October 9, REVIVAL will be the latest release from the group since their single “Hane” back in June and will be the band’s second overall. The album will feature with only a CD-only standard edition with eleven tracks total.

KOTORI is going all-out to make their mark on the industry. Check out the music video in question along with pre-orders for REVIVAL in the link below!
