THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE channel the explosive rhythms and high-octane beats on their single 'BLACK TOKYO' that's set to be featured as the theme song on the soundtrack of the upcoming Japanese action film TOKYO BURST -Hanzai Toshi-.
Inspired by the urgency, tenacity and grit that the film exudes, the track depicts that same energy in the track with a raw expression of emotions that reverberate through each drumbeat and anthemic chant. The lyrics are soaked in an empowering sense of rebellion as RIKU, Hokuto Yoshino, Kenta Kamiya, YAMASHO, and Takahide Suzuki lash out each lyric with an enforced rigour and fire. As they blend their hip hop and electronic music sensibilities with the evocative storyline of the film, they highlight their artistry by extracting the film's core message through the theme song that they have created.
The accompanying music video sees the group as they traverse an urban landscape, owning the barren city as they speed across open roads, hype up a crowd at an underground rave while looking over the cityscape from the tops of buildings that tower over those below. It perfectly illustrates the themes of the film with the impactful visuals that highlight the undertones of risk and danger.
The physical release of the track will also include a secondary theme by the group titled 'Maverick', further showcasing their signature raw intensity and high-energy sound. With 'BLACK TOKYO,' THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE pushes into a bold, cinematic new era, expanding their sound while strengthening their global presence.
