A collaboration between NewJeans and Takashi Murakami has been realized!Familiar flower characters appear in the MV teaser for the new song “Right Now”

■Takashi Murakami has openly stated in interviews that he is a fan of New Jeans.

NewJeans and Takashi Murakami, two global icons who are hugely popular with Generation Z around the world, have announced an unprecedented collaboration.

NewJeans released the MV teaser for “Right Now” on May 1st at midnight on the HYBE LABELS YouTube channel. “Right Now” is one of the songs included in the Japanese debut single “Supernatural”, which will be released on June 21st.

The teaser begins with the “New Jeans x Powerpuff Girls” characters that were introduced in their 2nd EP “Get Up”. The five members go out in search of the elixir of love and discover a “rainbow flower,” which gives them supernatural powers. In the process, the two worlds collide due to an unknown error, and the characters of “New Jeans x Takashi Murakami” appear. This character, born from the combination of New Jeans’ adorable charm and Takashi Murakami’s iconic work “Rainbow Flower”, left a strong impact even though it was only briefly shown at the end of the teaser.

Takashi Murakami, Japan’s most beloved contemporary artist and pop artist, utilizes his unique and eccentric works and his signature flower characters to attract not only fashion brands but also Billie Eilish and others. A well-loved person who collaborates with global pop stars. There are already many expectations for the combination of NewJeans, who have broken the stereotyped framework of K-POP and presented new standards, and Takashi Murakami, who is full of variety.

Especially since Takashi Murakami, who has always professed to be a fan of NewJeans in interviews, will be participating in NewJeans’ debut album in Japan, the meaning is even more special.

The reaction from fans around the world was also enthusiastic. The fans are

“It’s like a piece of pop art.”
“The idea and sense of collaborating with a famous Japanese writer on a song from a Japanese album is really good.”
“New Jeans is the genre”
“I never thought the teaser music could be this good.”

Various comments have been left.

NewJeans’ Japanese debut single “Supernatural” includes a total of four songs, including the title song “Supernatural” of the same name, the included song “Right Now,” and the instrumentals for each song. Since this is their first Japanese album, there is growing interest in how it will be different from the Korean albums that New Jeans has released thus far.

Prior to their debut in Japan, NewJeans is currently conducting a major collaboration with SHIBUYA109. In addition to the pop-up store opening on April 26th, a large photo of New Jeans was also posted on the outside wall of SHIBUYA109 on April 30th. After releasing their Japanese debut single on June 21st, New Jeans held a large-scale fan meeting at Tokyo Dome on the 26th and 27th. This is also worth checking out.
