After School have released the music video for their latest Japanese single "Shine."

In the music video, the beautiful members hold a bonfire at a beach at night, play with sparklers, set off fireworks, and then walk along the shore at sunrise. The video has a dreamy filter with soft colors, which makes the scenes appear as if they were filmed through a hand held camera. The overall atmosphere is intimate, sweet and uplifting.

The top rated comment under the video, by Marabou, exclaims, "This is the best music video After School has ever released! I am crying so much. It was perfect...I am so happy right now, so happy and so sad at the same time. Finally they were outside again and the English lyrics were a very nice bonus. I will watch this on repeat now because this video deserves all my love. I can't wait for the release of the album as I will buy all versions of it."

"Shine" is a song about finding inner strength to conquer hardships and insecurities so you can accomplish your dreams. The song states, "Gonna SHINE like a flower. Clad in shining memories. Be the light. No one can stop me anymore. I'll live this life as me." The song is part of After School's upcoming AFTERSCHOOL BEST album, which includes hits such as "Bang" and "Because of You." The album will be released on Mar. 18 and will have four versions.
