With TOMOKO IDA as the sound producer, it delivers a fresh, innovative finish infused with HIP HOP elements.

This song is recommended for anyone seeking a spark in their daily life or looking to take a bold first step.

This song is a single released digitally in 2019.
One highlight is the newly reborn music video, which cuts and pastes footage from past works like a collage.
As the title “Replay” suggests, it takes an approach that feels like updating their previous creations.
It’s a fresh, unprecedented style of direction.
Over time, the dance seems even sharper.
And it’s amazing how they’re still so cute!

Utilizing drones, helicopters, and cutting-edge VFX, it depicts a “Neo-Tokyo” together with 154 backup dancers.
The large-scale MV features crisp, intricate dance performances that draw viewers in.
It’s the perfect song for anyone who wants to live authentically and take on new challenges.
