APOKI, who always leads the virtual artist scene, made a comeback with a new song “Nu Boo (feat. SOMIN of KARD)” on 5/24! This addictive dance tune of drum and bass is the first new song since the first album “Earth Space Time” released last November, and it suits APOKI’s colorful Y2K fashion that predicts a new step forward. The song is entirely in English, and features SOMIN from the Korean four-member group “KARD” that is active around the world, and has received a good response not only from Japan and Korea but also from the United States and Latin America.
And today, May 31st, the performance video for this new song “Nu Boo” was released. It shows APOKI performing in front of a huge crowd in a virtual huge stadium, and is packed with gorgeous stage effects such as fireworks. The sound in this video uses “360 Reality Audio” (※), a special music experience where sound pours down from all directions, and you can enjoy a immersive mix that is different from the released sound source, such as the cheers of the audience, sound effects on stage, and thicker bass that pursues the sound quality of a live environment. Please enjoy it with headphones or earphones.
*360 Reality Audio is a next-generation sound experience that uses Sony’s object-based surround sound technology. It creates an immersive, three-dimensional sound field that makes you feel as if you are listening to a live performance right in front of you.
