Bingkai Karya – Keina Suda has released his latest single “Nina”, alongside a striking new music video now live on his official YouTube channel. Also known as Vocaloid producer, Balloon, Keina Suda is the creator behind the iconic track “Charles”, which has surpassed 150 million streams and YouTube views combined, including its self-cover version. With “Nina”, he continues to expand his artistic world with a deeply introspective and emotionally layered release.
Written and composed by Keina Suda and arranged by Shingo Kubota (Jazzin’ park), “Nina” serves as the theme song for d Anime Store’s latest commercial campaign.
