BALLISTIK BOYZ Brings the Heat with Latest Music Video!
/On August 2, BALLISTIK BOYZ release new single “SUM BABY”, a breezy tune about finding love in the heat of summer. The release is accompanied by a music video. Ever since their formation in April 2018, Japanese dance and vocal group BALLISTIK BOYZ from EXILE TRIBE have had their sights set on global activity.
The group is made up of seven extremely talented members who perform physically demanding acrobatic dance routines while singing into handheld mics. Several of the members are bilingual, and they have appeared on stages outside of Japan and around Southeast Asia, thanks to their performance skills that could rival any top-tier global artist. “SUM BABY” is the latest release from this exciting multicultural group from Japan.
This is the second summer tune from BALLISTIK BOYZ, following the release in August 2020 of hit single “SUMMER HYPE”. Featuring a different vibe than the energetic summer party tune “SUMMER HYPE”, “SUM BABY” boasts a catchy melody and lyrics that celebrate the possibilities of a summer where something special could happen. The two summer songs each have different styles that are fun to listen to and compare.
On August 4, a physical version of “SUM BABY” will be released as both a standalone CD and a CD+DVD set. The CD features four songs including ‘SUM BABY’ as well as “Chasin’”, which was written and composed by BALLISTIK BOYZ members Rikiya Okuda, Riki Matsui and Ryusei Kainuma. The DVD features the “SUM BABY” music video, footage from this year’s BALLISTIK BOYZ PROLOGUE LIVE TOUR 2021 “PASS THE MIC” ~WAY TO THE GLORY~ headline tour, as well as documentary footage that follows the members on tour. The DVD also includes an interview with the members reflecting on the headline hall tour that had been planned take BALLISTIK BOYZ across all corners of Japan throughout the whole of 2020, but which was unfortunately cut short in the wake of the ongoing pandemic.
