Lisa and Kentaro Sakaguchi Bring Dream to Life in Upcoming Short Film
Lisa’s Dream is the 13th track on her debut album ALTER EGO, released February 28. The album made a strong global impact, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top Album Sales chart, cementing her position as a solo artist capable of commanding the spotlight.
Known primarily for her dynamic stage performances, Lisa has been steadily expanding her artistic portfolio. Her acting debut in White Lotus Season 3 showcased her versatility and hinted at future ventures beyond music.
Sakaguchi Kentaro, one of Japan’s most celebrated actors, brings depth and emotional nuance to his roles. His inclusion in Dream elevates the project, promising audiences a blend of visual beauty and heartfelt storytelling.
This short film is more than a music video—it’s a narrative-driven experience merging two creative talents from different cultures. Fans are anticipating not just the music but the emotional journey the visuals will deliver.
With Dream, Lisa and Sakaguchi Kentaro are poised to deliver a cross-cultural cinematic moment that blends music, emotion, and storytelling into one unforgettable release.
