Whoopee Bomb suddenly came into the limelight with ABEMA’s “Birth of a Rap Star 2023” and has gained support from the youth generation with their eccentric yet sophisticated fashion style and unique hairstyle. This is a catchy song that is straight out of Whoopee Bomb’s charming image. You can get a glimpse of a character that is a little different from the previous work “Demon” released in October.
The music video is scheduled to premiere today at 21:00, and Ichy will be the director. It is said that the video gimmick, which is similar to the atmosphere of the song, has created an impressive content. The artwork was created by illustrator DON, and has a fun design that is linked to the worldview of the MV.
In addition, after the MV premiere, Whoopee BombInstagram LiveAlso scheduled to be implemented. It looks like it will be a valuable opportunity to hear the behind-the-scenes stories of this work and the music video.
[Whoopee Bomb comment]
For this song, “Don’t Stop,” I produced the beat myself, creating a fairy tale-like atmosphere overall.
I also like the beat after the beat change in the second verse, so please give it a listen!
The lyric is about facing your life and continuing to move your feet.
If you stand still, the situation won’t get better, and you have no choice but to pave the way with your own actions.
Additionally, the MV was shot by Director Ichida, and the number of cuts has been significantly reduced, making it an MV with only 3 cuts, which is unusual for a HIPHOP MV.
Also, as the title of the song “Don’t Stop” suggests, the video depicts a day in a loop, expressing the same but somehow different daily life.
BUCTH, who is well-known for his work “On this big wave that we have no choice but to ride,” is invited as a guest, and at the end of the music video, he blows fire to create a parade feel, so it’s a must-see.

The title is “Don’t stop”.
I sympathized with the young man’s declaration of his firm will to himself and others, telling himself, “Nevertheless, don’t stop,” amidst the slow melody.
With the keyword “Don’t stop”, start with a long take of one cut.
I envisioned him continuing to move forward without stopping despite various things happening to him, but during discussions with him, he realized that of course, a life of constant movement is accompanied by anxiety and difficulties, but that all of these negative things are Instead, I felt something positive about how similar things can become completely different depending on how you look at them and how you are seen.
The world continues to revolve, with all its joys and sorrows, holding everything together and grasping the whole life in its grasp. In the midst of all this, I “don’t stop” and keep moving forward even though I’m shaky. I feel like if I enjoyed the journey, I won.
I played with all my might.
