Komorebi's latest single Watch Out embraces the extra-terrestrial within

Since 2017, musician Tarana Marwah has been expressing her lifelong adoration of Japanese culture under the moniker Komorebi, which translates to “sunlight leaking through the trees”. It’s only fitting, therefore, that her latest musical endeavour is all about finally letting her inner light shine through, unabashedly. 
The music video for her single Watch Out will be released on August 18, and features drag performer Glorious Luna. Watch Out is the latest single to be released 
from Komorebi’s new album, The Fall, in which she sings in dulcet tones about an alien named Kiane trying to belong after escaping her home planet and crash-landing on Earth. 

Luna, who plays the villain of the story, tells mid-day, “The song and music video is from the perspective of an outsider. There is this sense of ‘otherness’ to Komorebi’s music and style that I find comforting as a queer person. It’s about accepting the things that make you different. You can try to run away from being different, but it won’t work, so you may as well make something out of it. That’s exactly what we did.” Komorebi hums in agreement and adds, “I have always felt like a misfit. I think [feeling like an outsider], is something we can all understand and connect with on a subconscious level.”
