“Villain” released the new music song “Acanthus”

“Villain” just dropped the new and hot song “Acanthus”. It will contain the song 'Acanthus' . Enjoy the J-Pop sound from the far east Asia.

Mino, a singer-songwriter who has been working solo, and Gaku Hiraoka, a photographer and video creator who recorded 471,000 views on Youtube for the first time, formed a team. It is an up-and-coming team of creators exploring new possibilities of entertainment through music and video. Villain's first single bears the name "Acanthus" and is based on the theme of "art" which is the flower word of it. "We want to form a band too," the two young men who finished watching their friend's band's live show were saying such a thing. On that day, Villain was born. Mino and Gaku Hiraoka have been friends since junior high school, and since they left their hometown Shizuoka and came to Tokyo, they have been working individually. The reason why the band members who were playing happily on the stage shined in the eyes of those two people may be because they were both tired of continuing to make the work alone, or maybe because they lost sight of the meaning of making the work. Anyway, we decided to work together. This song "Acanthus" originated from the idea that we could convert the contradiction between the way of art and creation that we think it should be and one in the entertainment industry into art in our way. We believe that the reason why music, paintings, movies, and various arts are called arts is because they are not trying to get the understanding of others but sticking to their own values. However, in reality, in order for artists to create a work and live a life, it must be seen by people and earn money. Therefore, after all, artists cannot make what they really want to make. The world is full of creators who have such conflicts. Some people might say that every industry is made up of customers, so your thoughts are stupid, but I feel that there are few people who are actually seriously facing this conflict. This song was made with the hope to free the lost creators, including us, from this suffering. Acanthus, the art inside of me, the eyes of others, money, life, dreams, future. There are so many concerns that creators have all the time. We would be happy if the hearts of the creators who are struggling so much that their brains are about to melt will become lighter. The MV was shot on a green background entirely and made with full 3DCG. What we are particular about is that viewers can see it not only as a music video but also as a video work. We believe an MV should be as valuable as a song. An MV that expresses the story and meaning of a song will make you want to see it again for the video. It can be said that Villain's unique strength is that they can deeply share what they want to express and convey between music and video. Villain's future activities will be mainly conducted on the video platform. Specifically, we plan to post works that combine video and music on Youtube, TikTok, Instagram, etc. When the number of songs increases, we want to actively hold live shows. We are currently looking for something we can do with music and video in the live performance. This song is just the beginning of Villain. We are making works with faith in our potential.
