This week we have Shine Fine Movement and their MV for their major debut single titled Hikari Crescendo. Out December 13th, the single will be releasing in 2 editions.

It’s been at least a week since we last saw an MV taking place in a school, but thankfully Shine Fine Movement are here to change that. With a soft ballad sound and some classically inspired instrumentals, we get to see as the members sing in a wide variety of beautifully lit scenes.

They’re a rather new group, but they have a solid sound that is worth checking out. Make sure to do that below!
