Collaboration MV with Mei Semones
In a celebration of its first anniversary, gogh released a music video for the original song "One and Only" by rising artist Mei Semones. The song encapsulates gogh's concept, "Focus on Your Life," and features avatars and spaces from the app.
Mei Semones, born in America and currently based in Brooklyn, NY, is a singer-songwriter and guitarist with a fresh take on music influenced by jazz-pop. Her lyrical blend of Japanese and English creates a unique sound that is gaining traction. Mei's debut full-length album, "Animaru," is set to release in May 2025, and she will also be performing at the Fuji Rock Festival.
