Japanese singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada has released their new single
“Naniirodemonai Hana” (A Flower of No color). As the theme song for Fuji TV’s newest show The Gift of Your Heart (Kimi ga Kokoro wo Kureta Kara), the song acts as a ballad that conveys the message of “If you can’t believe in yourself, then you cannot believe in anything.”
The music video for the song was released on YouTube. Directed by prominent filmmaker Tomokazu Yamada, the music video features Utada performing in a snowy landscape on a frozen lake as the wind blows. Check out the music video here: https://youtu.be/symoxV67btI.
