After announcing the new EP CHIME, the indie-pop trio Lucie,Too published a couple of music videos to promote the release and went on a promotional tour through Japan. That means new videos from the band.
For the release party at DaisyBar in Tokyo on 15 December 2019, a 10-minute documentary film made by Keita Senoh, which shows the aspects of preparation, the atmosphere in the venue and some parts of the sold-out show.
After this, Lucie,Too performed a couple times more, in Osaka and Nagoya, before returning to Tokyo for the tour final. For the two shows outside Tokyo, another video was made to show some insight into the adventures of the three while on tour. This video, made by Haru, is directly used as a music video for the song ゆらゆら (Yura Yura). This is also a song that can be found back on the newest EP of the band, CHIME. Since there are only 4 songs on this EP, it leaves one song without a specific music video. Except if you bought the CD through OTOTOY where you get two extra songs from the band, although it is still on an extra CD.
Since the latest video got published after the announcement and withdrawal of bass player Kanako, the tour diary video gives a bittersweet feeling since we already know what happened next. Kanako announced shortly before the tour final to leave the band and look to what next steps she will take as a musician.
While the video, which was released at the end of January, is still in the Christmassy mood, the song ゆらゆら (Yura Yura) starts quietly. It shows the original line-up of the band enjoying touring in their home country. It contains images shot behind the scenes that are not always visible to the fans, such as travelling, setting up the stage and sound checking, making it fun to see these shots accompanied by one of the songs from their newly released EP. ゆらゆら (Yura Yura) is a real indie-pop ballad that seems to get a bit more energetic in the end, with singer and guitarist Chisa adding more power to her voice before a clear stop is made to the song. Although the video and the song gives a bittersweet feeling, it is a nice document to look back at the fun the girls of Lucie,Too had during their promotional tour.
