Forever Young feat. UVERworldAK-69

Finally, the music video is out!! AK-69 “Forever Young feat. UVERworld” (from the album ‘DAWN’ releasing on November 23)

This is a powerful track created by AK-69, a charismatic figure in the hip-hop scene, teaming up with the hugely popular rock band UVERworld.

The passionate message—“This moment right now is the youngest you’ll ever be for the rest of your life”—ignites the fighting spirit of its listeners.

The song was included on the album DAWN, released in November 2016, and was also chosen as the theme song for the drama ‘Work Isn’t School’ (Kaisha wa Gakkō ja Nee n da yo).

Its power is evident from the fact that many top athletes, including mixed martial artist Kai Asakura and SoftBank Hawks pitcher Shota Takeda, have selected it as their pump-up song for competition.

When you listen to this track, what sport do you think it’s for? “Ride Wit Us” by popular hip-hop MC AK-69 was released as a single in 2023, and it was chosen as the official theme song for ABEMA’s Grand Sumo LIVE.

Sumo and hip-hop… it might be a combo you haven’t seen before, but it’s insanely cool! The heavy, powerful beat evokes the fierce clashes between rikishi.

It’s a thrilling sumo anthem that inscribes a new page in Japan’s history!
