To hype up their upcoming single, six-member alt-idol group EMPiRE released the music video for their track “HON-NO” on their YouTube channel. Releasing as a double A-side single titled “HON-NO / IZA!!” on May 12, this will be the latest release done by the group since the digital single “ERROR” back in January and will be their fourth major label single overall. Released across all digital streaming platforms, the track is being used as the opening theme song for the Netflix original anime 天空侵犯 (High-Rise Invasion), and the girls look to match the intensity of the series in their own unique way.
The music video is directed by Kento Yamada of the band yahyel who is also in charge of video production at EMPiRE's live performance, and is a stylish video that captures EMPiRE's dance from various perspectives. The theme of the music video is "EXPLOSIVE MASQUERADES PENETRATE INSTINCTS REDEMPTIVE EVE". The acronym is EMPiRE which translates literally to "Atonement Eve, where an explosive masquerade pierces your instincts." To match the high energy levels, the music video will be featured in 5K.
The single will be released with three editions: a CD-only standard edition and two limited editions. The first limited edition will feature a bonus DVD, the other will feature a bonus Blu-ray and cassette tape making it a must own for fans. Both the Blu-ray and DVD will include footage from their EMPiRE'S GREATEST PARTY -EAT SLEEP EMPiRE REPEAT- live concert the took place back in March.
