Marina Yozora’s dream pop single “Watermelon Pink Blue Skies” finds a particularly poetic counterpart in the video shot and edited by Shoma Shibata. The color palette reflects the title of the song and captures the lonely beauty of the song. Yozora’s guitar sketches an organic rhythm that loops throughout the song while a second guitar intones an abstract, melancholic mood. Yozora’s voice nearly whispers in expressive arcs a reflective set of lines evoke the feelings of heartbreak and regret that come out of looking back on a time when one’s love dissolved and left in its wake confused feelings and a lingering longing for what once was even if it doesn’t always make logical sense in your mind or in a way you can easily articulate. In Yozora’s vocals you can hear a depth of feeling and an elegant refinement of emotion sensitive enough to express precisely those feelings in a way that’s resonant and moving while being self-aware enough to know that sometimes how you feel isn’t always in search of a solution or of being fixed because sometimes you just have to feel that moment to make sense of it all long term.
