Singer Aina Abdul Combines Work and Vacation with Japan Music Video Shoot

Malaysian singer Aina Abdul views filming her latest music video in Japan as a perfect blend of her demanding career and personal enjoyment, a strategy she calls 'work hard, play hard.'

“

Why did Aina go all the way to Japan for the MV shoot? The answer is 'work hard, play hard.' That's how I've always entertained myself, by working while on vacation.

Abdul, 32, who rarely finds time for traditional vacations due to her busy schedule, opted to shoot the music video for her song 'Sadis' in Japan. She explained that planning dedicated holiday time is often difficult, making the combination of work and leisure the most practical approach. This method allows her to fulfill her professional obligations while also indulging in travel.

The choice of Japan was deliberate, driven by the country's aesthetic qualities that resonated with the mood and storytelling of 'Sadis.' Abdul, the winner of Best Vocal at the 37th Anugerah Juara Lagu, sought a location that visually complemented the song's essence.

If you want to plan a special date just for vacation, it usually doesn't happen. So, the best option is to combine the two.

Despite the higher costs associated with international shoots, Abdul shared her gratitude for the seamless execution of logistics, accommodation, and flights, which remained within a reasonable budget. She attributed this success to divine ease and the support of her efficient team, who she described as cooperative and unsparing with their time and resources.

“

Alhamdulillah, Allah SWT made all affairs easy. From flight costs, accommodation to transportation, everything is still within a reasonable budget after recalculation.

Furthermore, Abdul expressed delight over the positive reception of 'Sadis,' which has garnered over 130,000 streams on Spotify shortly after its release. She encouraged fans to watch the music video on her official YouTube channel and continue their support.

Alhamdulillah, the number of streams on Spotify alone has exceeded 130,000. I hope fans can watch this music video on Aina Abdul's official YouTube channel and continue to provide support.
