“Hi no Tori” marks the second collaboration between artist Goodnight Punpun and artist Negoto
Kodoani.com – Negoto Founding Member Sachiko Aoyama is gearing up to release “Hi no Tori”, her latest single. And accompanying the new work is the stunning, surreal art of a familiar name in the manga world.
Inio Asano is a manga artist known for titles like Solanin, Goodnight Punpun, and Dead Dead Demon’s Dededede Destruction that bears his name. He’s also collaborated with Aoyama once before—providing the art for her single “Harbor View”, which came out in March of this year:
Aoyama describes “Hi no Tori” as an “alternative love song.” The demo version has existed since October 2019, when she broke up with J-pop group Negoto and started her solo career. Asano’s cover art for the single is a mix of the real and the surreal we’ve come to expect from the artist, with a giant bird looking into a rather ordinary setting.
“Hi no Tori” premieres June 7 through Apple Music and the iTunes Store.
