Oishi Masayoshi “Shinda!” music video. The somewhat shocking title and the world of the video were based on a mix of American retro B-movie horror and otaku culture.

Set in Tokyo. A message to everyone who pushes beyond their limits and soars higher. With the power to believe in yourself, we’re sure to connect with one another.

Description: As a collaboration song for “EVOL,” a popular title in Monthly Comic Beam, Tatsuya Kitani wrote this song специально for the project. The streaming jacket also features original artwork of the “EVOL” characters drawn by Atsushi Kaneko, and the music video is based on the world of “EVOL,” with many newly drawn illustrations by Kaneko appearing throughout. The song title is also presented as word art by Atsushi Kaneko, and even Tatsuya Kitani’s logo was newly drawn by Kaneko, making this a deeply immersive, all-around collaboration.
