So Ikimonogakari released a new music video on the 1st which is a new version for their old song "ありがとう/arigatou" which was released back in 2010.

It's so wholesome to see. Throughout the video you see Yoshioka Kiyoe giving out "Thank You/Appreciation" certificates to who I think are people the band had worked/is working with.

Since they have been around for around 25 years, it just makes sense for a message like this. Though I wish there was a cameo of their former member Yamshita Hotaka, who was the signature Harmonica sound before leaving in 2021. Can't deny, even though they do sound good and have a few good songs every now and then, but it was never the same.

What do you guys think of this release? And I was wondering anyone can give an explanation of the little dialogue that took place at the start of the video between Mizuno and the reporters, before they start to perform the song?
