Music Video "Giiirl" | UQiYO ウキヨ

UQiYO Official Music Video 5.31.2024

2024年5月9日、丸１年の休止から活動再開を発表したUQiYO。前向きなエネルギーと静かな覚悟を感じる魂の一曲は、新生UQiYOとしての進化と真価が凝縮された新曲となります。

波紋のように広がる感動、愛と感謝のメッセージ
「Giiirl」は、コロナ禍を経てYuqiが陥った困難の中で誕生した楽曲です。外界との隔絶を余儀なくされ、鬱症状に苦しむ中で、妻と二人の娘たちの存在が唯一の救いとなりました。葛藤しながらも力強く生きる家族への愛と感謝のメッセージが込められています。朝日が差し込むような前向きなエネルギーを感じさせながらも、不確かな未来に対する覚悟も込められた、力強い一曲です

自主レーベル「QumonoiT Records」より各種配信リリース
Spotify、Apple Musicなどの主要なストリーミングプラットフォームで配信され、Dolby公認スタジオを持つUQiYOによるDolby Atmos空間オーディオバージョンもリリース。MVおよび各 種Teaserは気鋭の映像監督、中川大己が担当。映像プロデューサは 鈴木企画の鈴木雅人。

UQiYO is excited to announce the release of our new song "Giiirl" on May 31st! After a year-long hiatus, UQiYO resumed activities on May 9th, and "Giiirl" marks our first new release since restarting. This song embodies the evolution and true essence of the reborn UQiYO, filled with forward-looking energy and quiet determination.

A Message of Love and Gratitude

"Giiirl" is a song born from the difficulties Yuqi faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Forced into isolation and suffering from depression, his wife and two daughters were his only source of salvation. The song carries a message of love and gratitude towards his family, who, despite their struggles, live with strength. The music video and various teasers are directed by the talented filmmaker Daiki Nakagawa, with Masato Suzuki as the video producer.

Released via Independent Label "QumonoiT Records"

The song will be available on major streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, with a Dolby Atmos spatial audio version coming from UQiYO's Dolby-certified studio.
We hope that through this song, listeners can feel a warm sense of renewal along with UQiYO.

Lyrics

Girl
I feel it, I can see
君の瞳
Girl
泣かなくていい
Girl
そのままでいい

Girl
他人の幸せの方が
Girl
嬉しくなる
Girl
日がきっと来る

Girl
風の如く
柔らかな心
Girl
水の如く
Girl
変わり続ける

Girl
You might wonder
Pulling asunder
To the yonder
Go
A journey to the moon
A Bit
Sentimental
A spiritual time
Just
A step away, sublime

Girl
冒険の先
辿り着く
Girl
Where the light grow brighter
Girl
世界は明るい

Interlude

Girl
A rage of thunder
A grace of a Savior
A word of a preacher
God
Who embraces us
But
Every love is here
In our soul
Girl
We all are formulated by your love

Girl
I feel it in your eyes
君の瞳
Girl
溢れ出る愛
Girl
ありがとうね

Girl
All the love you radiate
世界を照らして
Girl
希望を与えて
Girl
And I’ll love you till the end
