The music video for ‘New Look’ features MISAMO’s Mina, Momo and Sana in a cinematic music video that blends nostalgic motifs and present-day themes in their visual that pays homage to fashion icon Twiggy, an English model best known for her prominence in the fashion world in the ’60s.
“Just like Twiggy in cinema, I’ll wear a mini-skirt, / Short hair so I can look like a tomboy / But I wanna get a new look / The fashion that goes well with this character / Just like that cover girl, yeah,” they harmonise on the chorus.
‘New Look’ marks the first preview of MISAMO’s upcoming sophomore mini-album, ‘Haute Couture’, due out on November 6. According to TWICE’s Japanese website, the record is set to include seven tracks in total, including ‘New Look’.
‘Haute Couture’ will come over a year since they made their debut in July 2023 with ‘Masterpiece’, which featured the hit song ‘Do Not Touch’. “When we first heard that we were going to do MISAMO, we couldn’t really believe it,” Momo told NME in an interview at the time.
Following the release of ‘Haute Couture’ next month, MISAMO are set to embark on a live tour of Japan later this year. The trio will be performing two nights at Saitama’s Belluna Dome on November 2 and 3, before heading to Osaka for a two-night concert in the Kyocera Dome on November 16 and 17.
