LiSA has premiered the music video for her latest track, ‘MAKE A MiRACLE’, featured on her 22nd single ‘BLACK BOX’, released on August 21st.
The video draws inspiration from retro video games, movies, and fashion spanning the ’80s to early 2000s, blending nostalgic aesthetics with a futuristic twist. Notable references include the original PlayStation and a DMC DeLorean, evoking a sense of timeless cool.
The song itself is an energetic rock track composed and arranged by long-time collaborator PABLO a.k.a. WTF!?, brimming with mid-2000s influences reminiscent of artists like Tommy heavenly6, Nana Kitade, and Ai Otsuka. The lyrics carry a message of self-determination, suggesting that the future is something we create ourselves—small efforts can indeed lead to big miracles.
‘MAKE A MiRACLE’ is part of a busy year for LiSA, who kicked off 2024 with the release of ‘HELLO WORLD’, followed by her 21st single, ‘Shouted Serenade’, in May. Her single ‘BLACK BOX’ also served as the opening theme for the anime NieR:Automata Ver1.1a Season 2.
LiSA’s comment:
“MAKE A MiRACLE”
Let’s make miracles. Let’s create excitement.
This is something I hold dear in both my everyday life and my music activities.
This is a song for both you and me, born from our unshakeable belief in making miracles happen.
We go!! Let’s go!!
PABLO a.k.a. WTF!? comment:
LiSA came up with the idea for this song, thinking it would be great to have something like this in our live shows. We kept the arrangement simple to convey the raw energy of the live performances. It’s a classic rock approach, which feels especially fitting in 2024, and it’s a legacy I want to keep passing down.
Director Takaya Ohata’s comment:
I had the honour of creating this incredibly pop, retro, and futuristic music video with LiSA. The video conveys the idea that the future is something you invent yourself and that even the smallest effort can lead to a big miracle if you don’t give up. Please enjoy the various expressions of LiSA and her cute outfits!
“Remember, the future of humanity is a blank canvas.”
