Symphonic indie rock gets beautifully haunted as Trooper Salute unveil the MV for 友達がいました — Tomodachi ga Imashita, meaning “There Was a Friend” or “I Had a Friend.” The song feels like a dream-pop telescope pointed straight at a cracked memory: soft light, emotional gravity, and enough cinematic melancholy to make your shoegaze pedals file an existential complaint. Taken from their 1st album 友達がいました, the title track blooms with the band’s pastel-but-painful magic, where delicate vocals, orchestral indie textures, and slow-burning rock drama turn nostalgia into a full-band ghost story.
