Hanabeam

"Hanabeam" is a music video centered around Hifana's single, which captures the spirit of a Japanese summer matsuri. The core sound is that of fireworks, filtered through Hifana's Tokyo-born hybrid breakbeats. The video, co-directed by Fantasista Utamaro and Shane Lester, showcases Hifana's unique blend of old and new Japanese aesthetics. The narrative focuses on two Hanabi-shi who represent Hifana. They journey through a depressed city, gradually revitalizing it with the power of their music. Their journey leads them to an enchanted temple where they unleash their ultimate hanabi, resulting in a climactic explosion of colorful energy. The video celebrates the cultural traditions of matsuri and hanabi.
