This video was first released in Saudi Arabia, the venue for the world’s largest esports tournament “Esports World Cup 2024,” which was held in August this year with a total prize pool of $60 million (approximately 10 billion yen). The capital was Riyadh.
This video, which was created as a special collaboration game story trailer, is made up of full CG footage of “Tekken 8” throughout, and in addition to many Tekken characters, there is also a character who can be mistaken for YOSHIKI at the beginning ( Nina) also appears. When it was shown on a large screen and at high volume at the venue, the powerful image caused a great deal of excitement.
THE LAST ROCKSTARS is a super band formed in 2022. This song, produced by YOSHIKI, HYDE, and SUGIZO, features intensely aggressive guitar and vocals, as well as a beautiful piano melody that spins the entire story, creating a magnificent worldview like a movie. It is a work that makes you feel. It matches the worldview of the “Tekken” series, which has a history of 30 years, and is finished in a 4 minute and 30 second video that will never bore the viewer.
