KOMONO LAKE, a natural city pop unit consisting of singer Kanbin, who also works as a woodworker, and former Kero Kero Bonito producer SKYTOPIA, has released their third Single, "MOUNTAIN MAN"! It is an impressive song that expresses the beauty of mountains and nature with a minimalist arrangement, mysterious synths, and lyrics entirely in English. The music video, which was released at the same time, was directed by architectural filmmaker Seo Kenji and was filmed deep in the mountains of Kochi, where Kanbin's production base is located. It is a video that truly pursues the origins of "naturalism". This is a powerful work that expands the range of expression of this up-and-coming unit, who have achieved a total of 30,000 streams with just two Single so far.
