This new video eludes to Jihen alot.

Jihen Phase 3: Ringo, Nakata, Tomita Lab, Towa Tei, Saito Neko.

Now that would be a total clash of interests...

But on a serious note, this song sounds like a remix of some boring throwaway song she musta had leftover from Jihen era (with added blips and boops from Nakata's laptop), hence the Jihen references :-p

@FadedSun/Turtlefu: IF, and the IF means in the very unlikely chance of her doing a major project with Nakata... the damn thing better be released under DEYONNA ~It seems so pointless/WTF that she has only got ONE SONG under this name~ (When I hard think about it, this actually might not be so bad you know... perhaps make it more than just Nakata though, he's pretty one trick pony at the current time...)

Pretty cool vid. Song is decent enough but I wouldn't say that it's among her best or anything. It'll be interesting to see where she goes musically from here.

Rekishi is a joke pop singer. All of his music videos are supposed to be funny. I think he might actually be a comedian that has a singing career on the side. Deyonna was only ever supposed to be a joke, and I've seen it before where Japanese pop singers release a single song under a certain name for a special reason.

If Kira Bushi is a joke song... then what kinda hidden talent has this guy got?!!!! That's easily one of the catchiest, sweetest pop songs I've heard in the last few years...

Kira Kira Bushi is a pun, you know.
It's a pun on Twinkle Twinkle Little Star aka Kira Kira Boshi in Japanese.
Bushi = Samurai; Boshi = Stars
That's why there is the line "Bushi in the sky" = pun on "Boshi (stars) in the sky" and a near-homophone for "Lucy in the sky" (which in Japanese is "Rushi in the sky")
It's not a "haha" joke, but the lyrics are pretty pun-ny and tongue-in-cheek.
There is also this madness

The real name of the girl in the video is also Kira, so that adds to the joke.

That makes it like a quadruple pun.

The Japanese love puns.
