MK5

On 15 April 1997, singer Ryoko Hirosue released her first single, MK5, an acronym for Maji de Koisuru 5 byou mae (literally, five seconds before falling in love). The expression was later taken up and repurposed, transforming the original expression into Maji de Kireru 5 byou mae (five seconds before losing it). MK5 is a road trip, a tale of love and violence that takes us into the micro-worlds of Japan’s periphery.
