Since their debut on May 5, 2010, Japanese idol group TOKYO GIRLS’ STYLE have made leaps and bounds, building up an impressive career that has included two performances at the legendary Nippon Budokan, energetic performances in Japan and overseas, and repeated headline shows in Taipei and Hong Kong – building a loyal global fan base thanks to their strong music sense. From disco funk to EDM, Future House, city pop and more, TOKYO GIRLS’ STYLE have released high-quality songs in a wide range of genres, which, combined with their pursuit of new possibilities for dance and vocals, has made them an acclaimed girl group.

Back on July 13, this four-piece girl group released a music video for ‘Viva La Koigokoro’, the lead song from their upcoming album ‘Nocturnal’. The song tells a tale of unrequited love and heartbreak as deep as the seabed, but ends with a positive sense of moving on. This reflects the track’s hope-filled title, which translates as ‘Long Live Love’. The song’s mature pop-rock sound conjures images of the city of Tokyo, and it marks a bold new direction for TOKYO GIRLS’ STYLE.

The breathtaking music video echoes this atmosphere, showing the members of TOKYO GIRLS’ STYLE against a nighttime backdrop of Tokyo, and it contrasts the girls’ grown-up melancholy expressions with their darkly romantic outfits adorned with plenty of frills that showcase their cute side. The choreography was handled by KENZO from DA PUMP.
