MV Review: INSHOW-HA – Lemon

INSHOW-HA (印象派, impressionists) is active since 2009 in Osaka, en consists of MICA and MIU. In their daily life they are working at the office, in their free time they make music. Possibility thanks to their busy work schedules the ladies doesn’t have much time to perform in Japan.Their music caught the attention of discerning music fans early on, despite their elusive identity from performing only a few live shows a year.

In recent years, the act has released several unique and original music videos that fits well with their music. The act became known as innovative and genre-expanding.

Lemon (檸檬 [le:mon]) is the newest music video of the unit, emphasizing on the fruit and the yellow colour. The track can be found on the first album 印象派は君に問いかける (Inshow-ha wa kimi ni toikakeru) that will be released on October 4. Lemon got released as digital version via SPACE SHOWER MUSIC / DARKSIDE OF THE VOLCANIC GIRLS at the end of August.

The two ladies are in the middle of Kyoto and show artistically the familiar parts of the city. The video is fast pacing, and sometimes you have to be quick to process what you exactly see. It fits well with the track, considering that the song is upbeat and highly danceable. Lemon invites you to sing, especially with the English-language pieces. In addition, the song keeps clearly stuck in your head, the melodies in the track are simple and therefore easy to remember. Lemon is surely an inspiring video that makes you keep watching it over and over again.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade and check out this video to make it better!
