＜A Comment from NON＞
lalala Nichiyobi's music video was filmed with 3 people and 1 pig. I believe this is a music video that will give you energy and make you happy when watching.
The filming was taken with Mari-chan the mini pig, with a peaceful mood from beginning to end filled with laughter on the set.
And, thanks to the warmth of everyone who participated in the chorus, the level of happiness was raised up a bar.
This is a song I want many people to hear. Please listen to this to accompany your Sunday.
＜A Comment from Yoshihide Otomo＞
My mission for this song「lalala Nichiyobi」which NON invited me to be a part of and Sachiko M made was how to synchronize this song with NON while remote working. Not being able to meet in person, and all the lalala singing voices that were sent and the musicians breathing together felt lovely. The voices and performances that came together were born into this song. I'm also grateful to Shigeki Nakamura for mixing the sound sources that were in pieces.
＜A Comment from Sachiko M＞
Thank you for waiting!「lalala Niyobi」is finally delivered to the world while being blown by strong winds! When NON invited, I wasn't expecting or imagining it in this way, being remote and unable to leave the house and receiving everyone's lalalas to make a song. But, I believe that because of this, it became a nice, warm song. Praying for the day when we can sing "lalala" together! Sending it out to the world!
