“nina” Music Video (Short Ver.):

Nina the Starry Bride is a popular work that won Best Shōjo Manga at the 46th Kodansha Manga Awards and boasts a total of 2.1 million copies sold. Sakamoto wrote the lyrics for the opening theme “nina” herself. The composition and arrangement were handled by Yusuke Shirato, known for his work on hits such as Sakurazaka46’s “Sekai ni wa ai shika nai” (composer), THE IDOLM@STER series, and JUNNA’s “Here.” This collaboration marks Shirato’s first with Sakamoto. The upbeat, positive, and energetic opening theme promises to make a strong impact.

The music video for “nina” was directed by Yasuyuki Yamaguchi, who also directed Sakamoto’s previous video for “Dakishimete.” Combining a sense of speed with stylish and beautiful visuals, the video creates a tense and thrilling experience for viewers. A full-length version with a different storyline will be released at a later date. Stay tuned for more details!
