CHIKAI Delivers a Sincere Message Rich in Emotion

The group Tomorrow x Together (TXT) released their new Japanese single 誓い (CHIKAI) on July 3. The term “Chikai” means promise, and this fourth installment explores themes of determination, hope, and vowing to keep the promise that “we will be together forever,” even if things change. The album is composed of two versions “to B” and “to U” which each tell a different story: the first depicts the concept of flying towards the stars to become the ideal version of yourself, and the second recalls the memory of promise to yourself to find yourself again.

ひとつの誓い (We’ll Never Change)

The music video begins with a gentle piano melody, instantly immersing the viewer in an atmosphere of tenderness. The first scenes feature a meteorite made of stardust dancing across the galaxy, before landing in Beomgyu's eyes, lighting up his gaze and inviting us to relive happy memories together. The story then evolves to show the boys in different roles, each caught up in their own life obligations. Despite their differences and the distance that separates them, time has no control over them. The clip concludes with the stardust returning to the galaxy, this time from Yeonjun’s tear-wet eye, emphasizing the depth and intimacy of the shared memories.
