Watch: Lisa says goodbye to Kentaro Sakaguchi in 'Dream' short film
The Thai singer and actress, 28, released the official short film for "Dream" featuring Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi on Thursday.
Lisa portrays a grieving widow in the music video, which opens with a funeral service for her fictional husband (Sakaguchi).
She reflects on moments they shared together as she sings "I know a place where we can be us. I know it ain't real, but it's real enough. From sun going down to sun coming up, it's like you're here with me, whenever I close my eyes."
She remembers a moment in particular when she asked him what he wanted to be in his next life. After she said she wanted to be a tree, he said, "Then I want to become a lake in front of that tree. There's something magical about the way trees reflect on the lake. So I want to be the lake."
The film ends as Lisa spreads his ashes in a lake.
Lisa described the song as "an emotional, beautiful story," in a previous post promoting the music video.
The song is featured on her album Alter Ego, which dropped in February.
Lisa is also a member of Blackpink, alongside Jisoo, Jennie and Rose. The South Korean girl group is on tour through January. They released "Jump," their first single of the year, in July.

Paul Walter Hauser says his 'Americana' character is man out of time

Photo courtesy of Lionsgate NEW YORK, Aug. 14 (UPI) -- Fantastic Four: First Steps and The Naked Gun actor Paul Walter Hauser says Lefty, the character he plays in the contemporary western Americana, is a man out of time. "If you look at a guy like me or any doughy actor from past or present, there are different assumptions or connotations that are kind of obvious," the 38-year-old Golden Globe- and Emmy-winner told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "When you're a bigger guy, there's a little bit of sadness," he said. "You probably don't feel the same about yourself as those who are maybe healthier or classically attractive in a different way and I think that that was something to connect on, but then, also, some people feel like they're born in the wrong time period and I feel like this guy would have thrived in the early 20th century and I don't think he thrives in 2025." Hauser said he thinks there are probably a lot of people in rural America who will relate to Lefty. He's charming and disarming.

"It's almost as if life in the current period does not allow one to be simple, less they get left behind or totally excluded somehow." Writer-director Tony Tost's feature film directorial debut opens in theaters on Friday. It follows several colorful characters in pursuit of a valuable Native American artifact across South Dakota. Aside from the fact that he doesn't have someone special with whom to share his life, Lefty is quiet, law-abiding and content. His world is turned upside-down, however, when sweet, stuttering diner waitress Penny Jo (Sydney Sweeney) asks him to help her steal the Indian ghost shirt so she can finance a trip to Nashville, where she hopes to become a famous singer. "There's sort of an old-school chivalry and 'aw-shucks' nature about him that is probably attracted to the plight of any woman, either needing a coat in the colder climates, or needing help with heist, as it were," Hauser said of Lefty, who just takes it on faith that Penny Jo can carry a tune. "It was very much the perfect storm for him to get involved." Lefty also isn't a man accustomed to having his affection or interest returned.

"Rather than him saying to a woman, 'I need you,' she's kind of saying to him, 'I could use you for this. I need you.' And that's probably a very big pull for him." Hauser said Euphoria and The White Lotus alum Sweeney was a great collaborator and easy to work with. "She asked questions and then was an ideal dance partner," he explained. "I found her to be unintentionally and probably unconsciously intimidating, but it's just because she seems very sure of herself and she had a lot to impart there," Hauser added. "There's a lot of -- not Jeopardy! knowledge -- but like real-life world knowledge that she would share in an instant. I was like, 'Oh, wow, she's way more confident and way smarter than I am.'" Tost said it was obvious Hauser and Sweeney enjoyed working together. "They had really authentic chemistry together," Tost said. "You wouldn't imagine that she's a rising Hollywood starlet by how she conducts herself," he added. "She conducts herself very much like, 'I'm here to work.' From the first take, she's pretty dialed in. She's really open to the direction. She's really well-prepared and is just incredibly low-maintenance and very, very gifted." Tost said he was excited to put a fresh spin on American archetypes in his first movie. "I love the western. I'm a small-town, rural person myself and, so, I kind of wanted to Just evoke these figures that I love that were both in my childhood, as someone who watched Clint Eastwood movies, Burt Reynolds movies, grew up on pro wrestling, country music," Tost said. "There's a certain texture or tenor to these characters, but I also wanted to look at them from a modern-day lens." Exploring how these archetypes do or don't fit into a contemporary setting was important, too. "That's kind of the inspiration -- how can I take the realities of today and these archetypes from American culture, or from Western mythology, and kind of fuse them together?" Tost said. You can call him Ghost Eye. #AmericanaMovie - in theaters August 15. lionsgate (@Lionsgate) July 31, 2025 Working as a writer on the beloved TV series, Longmire, was good training for this film. It also introduced Tost to actor Zahn McClarnon, who co-stars in Americana, along with Halsey, Eric Dane and Simon Rex. "I knew Zahn was one of the very best actors going, a really cool guy and, so, I wrote that role for him, but also being in that Longmire takes place in Wyoming, bordering on a fictional Cheyenne reservation. I grew up next to the Muckleshoot Indian reservation in Washington state," Tost said. "For my first film, it made sense to me to be in the storytelling arena space that I feel comfortable in, that I still love and that I didn't feel like I've exhausted yet."

Here's How Rei Ami Of "KPop Demon Hunters" Responded To A Viral Rumor That The Hit Song "Golden" Is Actually AI
Everybody's rightfully obsessed with Sony's KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix. The movie's already making history as the iconic single "Golden" from the movie has reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100, but not without a bit of controversy. So, KPop Demon Hunters is voiced by a star-studded, all-Korean cast with a visual style and music that pays homage to popular Korean music, anime, and culture. It's dope because it's like one long, action-packed music video. In the animated film, three present-day demon hunters are tasked with saving the world from an evil demon king — Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo). The best part is that they're not just demon hunters but also the super famous K-pop girl group Huntr/x. The singing voices of the animated characters are... ...K-pop singer-songwriter and record producer Ejae for Rumi... ...Korean-American R&B singer and rapper Audrey Nuna for Mira... ...and actor, singer-songwriter, and rapper Rei Ami for Zoey. The movie features several songs that have become instant hits with fans, but the song "Golden" which plays important part in the movie has crossed over into world as chart-topping hit making the virtual girl group HUNTR/X one of the first girl groups to hit #1 since Destiny's Child. It is the second track from an animated film to occupy the top of the Hot 100 this decade since "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Disney's Encanto. Other tracks from animated characters have charted before, including Alvin and the Chipmunks' "The Chipmunk Song" or the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar," and "Nobody Like U" from Pixar's Turning Red boy band 4*TOWN. The difference between these past groups is that they didn't have to defend themselves against "artificial intelligence" accusations. A viral tweet with over 12 million views said, "Y'all realize this is one step toward AI completely taking over the music industry as well right?" The tweet triggered a debate over whether or not the performance of "Golden" was AI-generated, prompting a response from one of the real-life artists behind the song. On Aug. 12, Rei Ami shared an X post, writing, "EJAE, AUDREY NUNA AND I ARE NOT AI — ARE U BITCHES DUMB?!" Like her character Zoey with the shin-kal knives, she responded one more time against the accusations, sarcastically writing, "Yall I just found out I've been AI for 30 years omg help I'm just a code oopsie oh noooooooooo me so sad." Thanks to fans, Kpop Demon Hunters has become Netflix's second most-streamed movie ever and gave both Huntr/x and the fictional boyband Saja Boys chart-topping songs. And these same loyal KPop Demon Hunters fans are hilariously ten-toes behind Rei Ami's playful clapback, and they're not pulling any punches. No seriously. Why is Rei Ami so hilarious?
