[ALEXANDROS] Shares New Music Video for Mosquito Bite Due Out July 18
[ALEXANDROS] is set to release new single and theme song for live-action film BLEACH, Mosquito Bite, on July 18th. Previously the band shared collaborative video with BLEACH and now the music video has been unveiled.
Directed by LA-based director Ryan Valdez, who has worked with various rock artists like Korn, Stone Sour and Issues, this is the band's first music video shot in the US. The main concept was to play up the chaos and energy of Mosquito Bite and extract it from the minds of [ALEXANDROS], visually and literally. The whole video was shot in 8K camera with various cinematography, adding powerful live feelings. “The band was an absolute honor to work with, so much talent and sincerity behind their music,” said Ryan. “The shoot was incredibly fun. The energy the band brought to the set was incredible! I am very happy to say they allowed me to tap into their minds and literally showcase their brains for everyone in this video. As front man Yoohei Kawakami previously commented, “We came up with the best rock song and I feel like this is like our second debut.”, Mosquito Bite shows the band's rock sprit.
BLEACH will have international premiere at Fantasia 2018 in Montreal and US premiere at Japan Cuts: Festival of New Japanese Film in NY.
