Leave it to Snow Man to end the summer with a massive banger!

“EMPIRE” is the scorching-hot lead track to their upcoming fourth studio album, RAYS, and it slays!

Set against the beauty of a historic Spanish town, the Kings of J-pop put the pedal to the metal for a ten-ticket sonic thrill ride of sensuality and sex appeal that synergizes their unique blend of pop, dance, and hip-hop with synthesized classical strings and an industrial beat that showcases the group’s unique style and synchrony.

It’s also one of the group’s sexiest videos to date. Highlights include Iwamoto’s dancing shadow, Fukazawa in shades, Raul and his fur, Watanabe’s playful flirtatiousness, Mukai being Mukai the Photo-Boy, Abe-chan’s deep and sultry voice, Meguro’s… well, everything, Miyadate and his bedroom eyes, and of course Sakuma’s endless energy!

Announced during their live stream – along with a new dome tour – RAYS will drop on 4 October and will be available wherever Japanese CDs are sold, including CD JAPAN. Released in three separate versions, each one will contain unique video features, bonus tracks, and behind-the-scenes video content across three separate editions.

There will be more Snow Man soon so… 

Stay Tuned!
