— A new chapter embodied in the vivid contrast of red and monochrome, portraying the beauty of “dawn.”
TRiDENT, the band taking Japan's next-generation female rock scene by storm, has officially made their long-awaited major debut on November 5 (Wed), with the release of their first EP BLUE DAWN. On the same day, the music video for the EP's lead track “Reimei no Uta” was unveiled.
This track was composed and arranged by
No B of
MY FIRST STORY, with lyrics written by
ASAKA (Vo/Gt) — a powerful creative lineup. The song is a rock anthem befitting their major debut, expressing the resolve of those who continue to move forward while holding onto hope, even amid darkness.
The music video was directed by Naoki Arima, a rising creator known for his emotionally charged visual storytelling, skillfully combining cinematography, editing, and VFX with rich textures and expressive lighting. Arima's unique visual design and color direction bring to life TRiDENT's core theme — “BLUE DAWN,” the moment of awakening.
The video contrasts intense red-toned performance scenes with monochrome imagery. In the performance shots, beams of light pierce the darkness, symbolizing the band's journey toward a new dawn. Meanwhile, the monochrome narrative scenes depict a man who has lost his light and a woman who guides him — serving as a symbolic portrayal of dawn (reimei). As their emotions and hopes intertwine, the final moments shift from monochrome to color, representing the exact instant of daybreak. True to its title, meaning “dawn,” TRiDENT has finally reached their own daybreak as a band — a new story begins. Keep an eye on these three as they continue to evolve across both the rock and anime worlds.

Comments from the Members on the “Reimei no Uta” Music Video
ASAKA (Vo/Gt)
“Even if you wander through a long, dark night, as long as you keep your faith and move forward, morning will surely come — that's the message I wanted to express. The MV beautifully portrays that ‘dawn’ through its dramatic storytelling and use of color. I hope this song can become a light of hope for as many people as possible.”
SERINA (Ba/Cho)
“Just as new light shone on our long band journey, this song expresses that dawn through the color red — symbolizing both daybreak and our burning passion for music. Please feel the world of breaking free from pain and struggle, and stepping into a new future.”
NAGISA (Dr)
“I poured the strength to move forward into every single drumbeat. The actors' performances in the monochrome scenes moved me so deeply that I almost cried during filming. I want my drumming to support the feeling of never losing hope, even in hardship.”
