Shunkan—the electrifying rock project of LA’s Marina Sakimoto—returns in full force with the gripping new video for “Arm’s Length,” a standout from her long-awaited album Kamikaze Girl, out now on Rite Field Records.
Drenched in surreal, Wong Kar-wai-inspired visuals, “Arm’s Length” captures the aching push-pull of craving connection while drowning in isolation. Written during lockdown, Sakimoto channels the turmoil of introversion and longing into soaring guitars, dreamlike cinematography, and raw emotional grit.
Kamikaze Girl is a thunderous comeback—ten tracks of gut-punch lyrics, explosive riffs, and haunted introspection. Produced by Alex Newport (Death Cab for Cutie, Melvins), the album chronicles personal wreckage and the slow, cathartic path to healing. From the brooding haze of “Hellbound,” to the emo-driven chaos of “Usual Suspects,” to the searing self-reflection of “Prettier,” Sakimoto emerges more fearless and fully-formed than ever.
With Kamikaze Girl, Shunkan isn’t just back—she’s leveling up.
