【Vkei-News】Kaya 19th Single “VILLAINS” new artwork & details unveiled!
Kaya 19th Single『VILLAINS』新アー写＆詳細決定！
Kaya, a solo singer whose songs and dresses brilliantly transcend gender and genre barriers, will release his 19th single “VILLAINS” on his own birthday, July 17!As the title suggests, “Villains” is the concept of the album, with lyrics written by Haru Aoi (Hitotonari/ex Minus Life Orchestra) and guitar by Majolica Majorca Magical Himori (Jin-Machine).
The double A-side single “Malefica”, which vividly expresses love and conflict with a catchy sound, and “Villain”, which shows the strength of Kaya as he confronts himself and forges a path he believes in!
This double A-side single, “Villain,” is filled with the strength to face oneself and carve out a path that one believes in.
The coupling songs “Aware na hitobito (Poor People)” (from the movie “The Little Mermaid”) and “Call me Cruella” (from the movie “Cruella”), a cover of popular Disney villains, will be included respectively.
The music video will be directed by Tsuyoshi Shoji, writer/director of the critically acclaimed film “Old Narcissus” (winner of the Best Feature Film Award at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival).
After last year’s full album “ROSE”, which was rich in variety, you can feel Kaya evolving even further in this ambitious work.
In addition to the preliminary unveiling at the venue of his current solo 17th anniversary tour, an in-store event at Tower Records will also be held!
