The music video for “AFRO TAXI” from the first EP “Now” released by Toyo and Ryoji on Wednesday, May 14th will be released at 8:00pm today.

Toyo and Ryoji are active as a family on a daily basis.AcornandNAGAN SERVERB-side project by. A lifelong youth unit consisting of Mori (Adongurizu), Ryoji (NAGAN SERVER), and producer Chomo (Adongurizu), who will not forget his initial impulses.

“AFRO TAXI” is a song that features a unique lyric with a taxi motif and a hybrid sound that combines funky groove, jazz, soul and funk. The meter was shaken off and the vibe dance tune was a happy vibe that was knocked out without brakes.

The music video features comedian Aike Nuwara, Tatsuro Omura, who has been active in a wide range of activities including modeling and DJing, and Yasmin Malika, a dancer who presents the value of “groove” not only in Japan but also in the world. The director was Yuma Takeda, who worked on Acorn “Let’s go” and Toyo and Ryoji “BORRACHO”, and the producer was Shin Ohira of CEKAI, a creative company that has worked on keshi “UNDERSTAND”. It is an addictive video that invites listeners to an extraordinary drive.

On Sunday, July 13th, a release party will be held at Omotesando WALL & WALL in Tokyo, featuring some spectacular guests such as dancers Yasmin and DJs such as ZEN-LA-ROCK, MAHBIE, ratiff (Neibiss). Tickets are also on sale from today.
