“Fashion Blogger”, produced by Osawa with lyrics and vocals by RHYME, portrays the duo as a social media-obsessed ice skater (RHYME) supported by her watchful coach (Osawa). Distracted from her routine by her never-ending search for more “likes”, RHYME falls on the ice again and again until she makes a real human connection.

The stylish music video is set in the fictional and fashionable IAFB Grand Prix (IAFB= I Am a Fashion Blogger) ice skating competition, and features MILK, the former figure skater and internationally famous drag queen who has appeared in RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6 and All Stars 3.
The exciting dance chemistry between RHYME and MILK is one of the video’s highlights, and both performers were competitive figure skaters before pursuing other careers in entertainment. There’s also a cameo appearance from Gaku Sano of Kamen Rider Gaim as a skating judge with an attitude.
“We’ve never done such a large scale shoot as this,” said Osawa about the extravagantly-produced music video.
“This video has ice skating, music, talking about bullying, social media and mental issues, being distracted, gender roles… so many things have been put into this,” added RHYME.
“Fashion Blogger” is now streaming on digital services worldwide.
