On July 27, seductive Japanese girl group FAKY released a raunchy music video for their new song ‘Choco Fudge’, the second pre-release single to be taken from their upcoming debut full-length album ‘F’, due October 19. And it has set the internet on fire.

FAKY are a girl group – or “girls’ union” to their fans in Japan – made up of five members of various nationalities with a diverse selection of roots and styles. Their ‘CANDY’ EP reached No.3 on the iTunes all-genres album chart behind only Ariana Grande and Radiohead, and entered the Top 10 of the Spotify Viral Top 50 chart in the United States. The group have also performed successful overseas concerts in countries such as Brazil, Canada and Spain. After joining the group in 2019, members Hina and Taki gained a huge fan base among teens after they appeared on the popular romance reality series ‘Who is the wolf?’ on streaming video service ABEMA, taking the group’s domestic success to all new heights. 

The theme of FAKY’s new song ‘Choco Fudge’ is “erotic chill”. The track was co produced by Sweater Beats, who has worked with CL (2NE1) and Lizzo as well as with FAKY on their single ‘Sayonara My Ex’; and SUNNY BOY, who has worked with BTS and ØMI (Hiroomi Tosaka of J SOUL BROTHERS III from EXILE TRIBE), as well as writing the lyrics for FAKY’s recent single ‘Diamond Glitter’. It was co-written by FAKY members Lil’ Fang and Akina.

As a partner song to their 2016 single ‘Candy’, it is a cute and naughty pop track that coats its spicy intentions in sweet chocolate for ultimate temptation – perfect listening for a lazy day.

The music video begins with the five members of FAKY eating chocolate in their bedroom. As they hit a sugar high from the mysterious chocolate, things become ever more surreal: The world in front of their eyes begins to warp, they are suddenly able to use magic, and the bedroom floor floods with sumptuous pools of molten chocolate. Combined with the girls’ red-hot lingerie outfits, the video shows both the cute and sexy sides of FAKY.

The music video was directed by Takuto Shimpo, who also worked with FAKY on their previous video ‘Diamond Glitter’. Shimpo won the Best Japanese Group Video Award at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan 2021 for his video for Official Hige Dandism’s ‘Cry Baby’, as well as the Best Video Director Award at the Space Shower Music Awards 2021. The new video is filled with the retro texture and conceptual vibe typical of Shimpo’s work.

The release of the video set fans ablaze on social media, with comments like “It’s so cute, and sexy too – an awesome song that shows so many sides of FAKY!”, “FAKY’s sex appeal is off the charts!” and “They look amazing, and I can’t wait for the album”.

Keep an eye on FAKY as they gain momentum in the runup to their first full-length album release in October.
