On March 5, 2025, Travis Japan is set to release their first CD single, "Say I Do / Tokyo Crazy Night," showcasing their evolution as artists. This double A-side single will feature both tracks digitally released on March 3, 2025, alongside the much-anticipated music video for the lead song, "Say I Do." The boys of Travis Japan have made their intentions clear: they are ready to take the music scene by storm, conveying heartfelt narratives about love through their artistry.
The lead song, "Say I Do," is particularly noteworthy as it co-stars Kaito Miyachika and Ao Wakana, who paint the essence of romance with lyrics reflecting the exhilaration of discovering true love—what they describe as "the love of your life." This sentiment is beautifully captured within the music video which takes viewers through the story of the group members acting as love consultants, helping men navigate the often complex waters of romance. The setting—a love consultancy office—adds charm and creativity to the visual experience.
YVNG WING, the director known for his previous collaborations with Travis Japan on tracks such as "Sweetest Tune" and "Crazy Crazy," brings his distinctive vision to this project as well. His approach emphasizes the acting abilities of the group, diverging from their typical dance-centric performances. The result? A refreshing focus on character expression, enabling the members to shine through their roles rather than solely through choreography.
Choreographed by the renowned NOPPO from the dance group s**t kingz, the coreography of "Say I Do" is delicate and emotionally charged. It is unlike anything audiences have seen before, fusing subtlety with impact, setting the emotional tone just right for the poignant lyrics. Social media buzz surrounds their choreography, especially with adaptations for TikTok, showcasing their versatility and modern appeal.
"Say I Do" resonates with the excitement and hopefulness of love; it's aimed not just at the fans of Travis Japan but also at anyone who has ever experienced the rush of finding someone special. The music video succeeds in capturing this feeling and marking this song as their first real love ballad, allowing the group to flex their acting muscles fully.
\"The video features the members of Travis Japan dressed as love consultants, striving to help men find love\", stated the En-tame Clip report, emphasizing how this narrative approach sets them apart from other performances. The light-hearted yet earnest atmosphere of the consultancy is seen as both innovative and engaging, and it’s clear how meaningful this project is for the group.
Travis Japan debuted their first song, "JUST DANCE!" on Capitol Records, where they made history as the first Japanese artist to achieve such recognition. Their commitment to growth is evident, as they continue honing their skills; since 2022 they’ve been training abroad, developing their craft and enriching the music they produce.
The release of "Say I Do / Tokyo Crazy Night" serves as yet another milestone for Travis Japan. It’s not just about the music—their artistic evolution is accentuated by their impressive storytelling capabilities, which will certainly resonate with existing fans and new listeners alike. Fans eagerly await both the official CD release and the live performances scheduled for the coming tour, excited for the magic this group continues to create.
Overall, Travis Japan’s new single encapsulates the true essence of their growth—not only as performers but as artists prepared to contribute meaningfully to the fabric of contemporary music. Their ability to express genuine emotions through song, embraced by masterful artistry, is setting them up for future success.
