Namida Surprise [Birthday Solo] / AKB48 [涙サプライズ 歌ってみた]

Happy birthday to me!

This song is quite special to me; I‘ve been wanting to cover this song since 2021 (the real ones remember)! To me, this is one of the catchiest, if not the catchiest, birthday songs I know.

As you can see, this is my first solo cover with customized art and a self-made video – a big shoutout to my wonderful friend io for making this chibi come to life! The outfit is from BNK48, I loved it and it’s a perfect fit!

Despite only having had a few days to finish this video (and scrapping many ideas in the meanwhile), I am pretty happy with how it turned out considering it‘s my first full youtaite-style MV.
I hope you enjoy my cover!
