Singer Woody released a collaboration single ″Kanashiki Tonakai (悲しきトナカイ / Sad Reindeer)″ with Japanese artist BLACK ZAPPA at midnight on the 16th through various online music platforms.

″Kanashiki Tonakai″ is a song that expresses the flow of emotions from loneliness and conflict to hope through the symbolic figure of a ″reindeer left alone in the snow.″ The song musically portrays an inner narrative that does not lose the feeling of hope to ″fly high in the sky″ even in a night where not even starlight reaches and in loneliness that cannot reach anyone.

This collaboration is a storytelling-focused project centered on the theme ″From Loneliness to Light,″ capturing the moment from despair to hope with cinematic sound using sensory symbolic motifs such as snow, night, aurora, and forest. The sensibilities of Woody and BLACK ZAPPA blend to complete a single visual and narrative experience.

Since releasing the Japanese version of ″If You Feel Like You Are Left Alone in the World″ in June last year, Woody has continued his activities in Japan by consecutively releasing representative songs in Japanese such as ″Blooming Like a Flower in the Desert,″ ″Come Out Casually Dressed,″ ″Say I Love You,″ and ″If This Song Comes Out in a Club.″ Through this collaboration with BLACK ZAPPA, he showcased an expanded musical world and plans to continue various global activities and communication with overseas fans.
