CREATIVITY IS THE ANSWER (答えはひとつ、じゃない。 香川真司CREATIVITY IS THE ANSWER (答えはひとつ、じゃない。 Yonce

The video features appearances from over 50 of the world’s top creators including Lionel Messi, David Beckham, Pharrell Williams, and A$AP Ferg. Representing Japan in the video is Japanese professional football player Shinji Kagawa and YONCE, the vocalist of rock band Suchmos.

A host of football players make an appearance in the video representing their countries, such as Paul Pogba, Dele Alli and Mohamed Salah.

    27.February.2019 | MUSIC

    Since their debut, Japanese rock group Suchmos has been speeding through their careers. Finally, the contents of their third full album “THE ANYMAL”, which will be released on Wednesday 27th March, has been announced.

     

    Their third album took more than a year to make. It has been two years and two months since the breakthrough of their second album “THE KIDS”. Starting with “WATER”, which was one of the first songs on the album to be released, the band created a total of 12 new songs; all with a daredevil theme. The song “Kawarazu ni iru tameni, kawari tzuzukeru” personifies their current position.

     

    To celebrate the new album release, Suchmos announced their arena one-man-live show that will take place in November. Many music distribution services such as iTunes have now started to stream Suchmos’ new songs such as “In The Zoo”, which inspired the name of the album title.

    To add to all this exciting news, the album jacket photo has also been released!

    In addition, the first press limited edition DVD version of the album includes a story movie based on “THE ANYMAL” called “Join Us And Go Somewhere Nice”. This was created by photographer Takayuki Okada, who was the first person to make a recording in Suchmos’ style. You can take a sneak peek at this movie on YouTube!
