The music video for “Again” from Kizuna AI’s 1st EP “Replies” released in April is out now. The music video is a collaboration between Kizuna AI and Galaxy, which depicts a group of people who connect with each other through online communication believing in the hopes for tomorrow with Kizuna AI supporting them.
The video focuses on 3 women chasing their dreams, Kira Shiomi from the girl group Kamiyado, gamer and TV personality Yuzuno Mizusawa, and Kaho Sakaguchi, a beach volleyball player.
The “Galaxy S20+ 5G”, “Galaxy A41 and Galaxy Z Flip” smartphones are shown in the music video.

Comment from Kizuna AI
I wanted to send out a message to everyone because I felt that I can convey my feelings more because I am a virtual being that “the future is promising and that we can make positive changes.” I wanted to show that “Changes can be positive” and that feeling matched very well with Galaxy and therefore we were able to have a collaboration to create this music video. The song “Again” produced by TAKU INOUE is about “cheering people up”, “giving courage to stand again.” I hope through watching the music video you can feel the message that I wanted to convey.
This music video takes a different approach from my main theme of “Wanting to connect with everyone.” Due to COVID-19 it is still difficult to go out freely even if you want to in the world we are living in now. But even in the midst of all that, you’re still able to “connect” with everyone by communicating through devices, just like how I am doing so you might feel anxious but you can video chat with someone so they can cheer you on and keep each other motivated. I feel that people are not as pessimistic as people think and perhaps everyone is trying to accept the change and update their style of living to fit the new era in a positive way.
