Sakurazaka46's BACKS unit released their latest track "Dried Fruit" (Dorai Furutsu) today, March 7th, along with a striking new music video on YouTube.

"Dried Fruit" serves as a B-side track from the group's upcoming 14th single. The music video creates what's described as a "closed-off and inorganic world," fitting the song's contemplative mood with stark, minimalist visuals.

For those unfamiliar, BACKS is Sakurazaka46's subunit featuring members who aren't part of the main single's center formation. These B-side tracks often give lesser-featured members a chance to shine and explore different musical directions from the group's main releases.

Sakurazaka46, formerly known as Keyakizaka46 until their rebrand in 2020, continues building their distinct identity separate from their sister groups. The group has been known for their more mature, sometimes melancholic sound compared to other Sakamichi Series groups.

The digital release of "Dried Fruit" gives international fans immediate access to the track, while the full 14th single release approaches. BACKS releases have become fan favorites for their experimental approach and opportunity to hear different vocal combinations within the group.

Fans can stream "Dried Fruit" on digital platforms now and watch the atmospheric music video on the group's official YouTube channel.
