NEXZ’s Japanese debut song “Ride the Vibe (Japanese Ver.)” advance distribution starts & performance video unveiled

■NEXZ will perform for the first time on a Japanese TV music program on “THE MUSIC DAY 2024” airing on July 6th!

NEXZ has started pre-releasing their Japanese debut song “Ride the Vibe (Japanese Ver.)” from their first Japanese EP “Ride the Vibe (Japanese Ver.) / Keep on Moving,” which will be released on August 21st, and a performance video has also been released.

“Ride the Vibe” is a song that symbolizes their global debut and the lead song that became the main focus of their Korean activities. They have performed “Ride the Vibe” every time they appeared on popular Korean music shows, and have grown together with their fans. The key point of the song is the diverse track structure that changes throughout the song, and it contains the message “Just be drawn to it, ride this vibe with me” amidst the waves of excitement, anxiety, nervousness, and other emotions that can only be felt for the first time.

And “Ride the Vibe (Japanese Ver.)” was produced to convey the worldview of the lyrics more clearly to Japanese listeners. “Ride the Vibe” has already penetrated widely through its activities in Korea and the response to its music video, and is already on the verge of breaking through. The message of the Japanese lyrics will trigger a sudden surge in popularity in Japan.

In addition, to commemorate their Japanese debut and the early release of “Ride the Vibe (Japanese Ver.),” various campaigns are being held at various music distribution stores.

In addition, the performance video for “Ride the Vibe (Japanese Ver.),” which was released along with the audio, focuses on the popular choreography.

Just like the artwork, the location changes from real spaces such as a cozy garden in what seems to be their “secret base” hideout, and a gas station with a hip-hop worldview to a fantastical unreal space, and you can enjoy the dance that changes in tempo to match the vibe of the track and the hand gestures that remind you of the members’ favorite “cats”. Also pay attention to the punchline that it was all a world line caused by the music playing from the smartphone.

Following their Japanese debut and visit to the SHOWCASE, a joint campaign was held in Fukuoka with Fukuoka PARCO and Daimaru Fukuoka Tenjin store, and the music video for “Ride the Vibe” was selected as MTV’s “July Hot Seat” and is receiving rave reviews.

In addition, on July 6th, they will be performing for the first time on a Japanese TV music program on Nippon Television’s large-scale music special “THE MUSIC DAY 2024.”

NEXZ is steadily getting ready for their long-awaited “Japan debut.” Their activities are only accelerating.
