tzkwym channels gothic electronic splendor in first music video, ‘Liminal’

tzkwym, the solo project of Tsuzuku, known for fronting MEJIBRAY and DRUGS, has revealed its first music video, ‘Liminal’. The video arrived on September 27th, followed by its release across digital streaming platforms on September 28th.

‘Liminal’ is a gothic electropop track with hints of heaviness throughout, evoking the sound of an underground goth club, as opposed to the metal heard in Tsuzuku’s previous bands. A pulsating beat teams with guitar and electronic elements, with dark lyrics referring to the liminal space between life and death.

The track is the first in the tzkwym project to receive a music video. It features Tsuzuku in a stark space looming over a miniature library, with a tiny version of himself trapped inside, dressed in Gothic Lolita-inspired styling. Notably, the video also appears to use practical effects, including what looks to be a physical miniature serving as the library space that tiny Tsuzuku resides within.

Its release follows tzkwym’s co-headline European tour with THE DEVIL INSIDE back in May, and precedes Tsuzuku’s final show with DRUGS on October 2nd, after which the band will disband.

Further 2025 releases included 'RAKUEN', 'TENGOKU', and 'Yoku To Shisou' featuring MEME, followed the next day by MEME's 'In My Blood' featuring tzkwym.
