27.February.2019 | MUSIC

SEKAI NO OWARI has released the music video for their new song “Food”! SEKAI NO OWARI released two albums on 27th February entitled “Eye” and “Lip”. The song “Food” is one of the songs on the album “Eye”.

It has been three years since the band worked with Jun Tamukai, who was the director of this music video. The video is based on a psychedelic dinner party to which many strange guests are invited.

    30.November.2020 | MUSIC

    Japanese pop band SEKAI NO OWARI have released their new 13-track album CHAMELEON under the band name End of the World on November 27, 2020.

     

    SEKAI NO OWARI goes by the name ‘End of the World’ when performing internationally, and Chameleon comes as their first record released under that name. Despite the language barrier, the band has strived to create an album that can be delivered to the people of the world while staying true to their sound. The 13-track record features a host of guest artists including NIKI of 88rising, British electro band Clean Bandit, singer-songwriter Gabrielle Aplin, and more.

     

    Fukase (SEKAI NO OWARI/End of the World) | Comment

    “We have wandered these past seven years to seek out what colour this band is. Sometimes we discover it, sometimes it’s an unfamiliar colour. This is an album covered in mud, and by no means a smart one.”

     

    Mick Guzauski (Album Mixer) | Comment

    “I’m so happy to be associated with this amazing album. Although we’ve had to communicate remotely, the band had such enthusiasm in all the details throughout production. They are devoted to their sound and are very intent on their aesthetic. They were really interested in my opinions on the engineering work, and all of this was incorporated into the album. I’m glad I got to work with them, it’s been an unforgettable experience.”

     

    End of the World released a music video for their song ‘Rollerskates’ from the album which stars Japanese actress Nana Komatsu.


    The music video was shot in New York and has a romantic, beautiful, and nostalgic feel to it with rollerskating through the restless night.

  • SEKAI NO OWARI’s Fukase Creates New Anime Project BAD MOOD

    22.October.2020 | ANIME&GAME / MUSIC

    The first episode of a new anime project entitled BAD MOOD conceived by SEKAI NO OWARI’s lead vocalist and bassist Fukase together with creative director Naoki Wada was released worldwide on Amazon Prime Video on October 21, 2020.

    BAD MOOD is a laid-back anime series that follows the fictitious band The Pink Elephants which is made up of five members: Fishman, Butt, Rabbit, UFO, and Moth.

    The anime project was written by Fukase who also oversaw the designs, with creative direction by Naoki Wada. Episode 0 was first posted on the official BAD MOOD YouTube channel. Six episodes will now roll out on Amazon Prime Video, with the first having been posted on Wednesday.

     

    Fukase | Comment

    “BAD MOOD for me is a show that explores the source of creativity. Whenever a series is born, it feels neither like the time when you look up and see a fresh blue sky, nor the time taken to enjoy a nice breakfast. I believe creativity is both a type of instinctive self-defence as well as something positive used to move forward in a negative situation. In fact, when I first conceived this animation project, I thought that if I’m just going to continue writing music as work, then I might as will quit, and that if there’s no need for SEKAI NO OWARI then we should break up. BAD MOOD contains messages I’m unable to convey in music, not in the form of my own words, but in animated form. The thing said and the situations in it are things from inside my own head, but by no means is this a proxy for my own opinions, and so I hope you can watch it with a broad mind, especially since we’ve living in the time we are right now.”
