Awich, ONE OK ROCK, CHICO CARLITO, Paledusk Launch YAO Project

The new music project YAO has officially launched with its debut release, "777." This collaborative effort brings together prominent Japanese artists: hip-hop artist Awich, rock band ONE OK ROCK, rapper CHICO CARLITO, and metalcore group PALEDUSK. The project "777" and its accompanying music video premiered earlier during Red Bull IN-YO! before its wider release on major streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.

The track "777" is characterized by a fusion of distinct musical styles. It incorporates Awich's powerful lyricism, the arena-ready rock sound of ONE OK ROCK, CHICO CARLITO's intricate wordplay, and the heavy, experimental elements from PALEDUSK. This blend aims to create an explosive and genre-defying listening experience for fans of diverse musical genres.

The official music video for "777" visually complements the song's energetic and multifaceted nature. It features dynamic imagery, shifting between scenes of chaotic school-like uprisings and protest movements. These visuals are intended to convey a core message of anti-war sentiment, love, and peace, adding a thematic layer to the musical collaboration. The project represents a significant cross-genre collaboration within the Japanese music scene.
