The setting is an ordinary convenience store.
However, it is a "microcosm of the world" where values intersect and personalities clash.
This work is based on the theme of "PURPLE VIBES HUMAN" and features not only the four members of WOLF HOWL HARMONY, but also a variety of characters with a strong presence.
They each have their own identity and territory, yet they coexist naturally in the same space. They are a little different from what is commonly called "normal." However, it is this "difference" that will become the standard of the coming era.
The key color that they unconsciously wear is purple.
This color, which was once a symbol of "nobility," is redefined in this work as a symbol of "freedom."
They don't socialize too much, and they don't isolate themselves either.
They don't invade each other's territory, they acknowledge their differences, and yet they are connected by the same groove.
This spirit, which began in the minimalist space of a convenience store, eventually expanded to the color of the vast sky that envelops the earth.
From ordinary places to the world.
This video work symbolically depicts WOLF HOWL HARMONY expanding their horizons globally while upholding their own aesthetic.
< WOLF HOWL HARMONY comment>
Once again, we would like to express our gratitude to everyone who has been involved in our first EP, "tera," and to everyone who continues to support us.
We come from different backgrounds and met through an audition.
This work combines the funk of member GHEE's Brazilian roots with the Made in Japan culture that all of us, born in the Heisei era, have experienced firsthand, allowing us to truly express the one and only WOLF HOWL HARMONY.
Simply put, why not dance seriously with us?
"tera" is where they have come from since their first album "WOLF" and into the future.
There's no need for boundaries.
Let's enjoy this moment together through music!
Vamos!
<YERD Director's Notes>
Gachi-Funk.
The main concept is simple: if you're going to do something, do it with all your might and live it with sincerity.
However, within that, this work has a sub-theme.
The situations, styling, and cuts featured in this series all have the key color "purple."
In the first place, the color purple was originally recognized and used throughout history and around the world as a color given to royalty, people in power, and the gods they worshiped, because it took an enormous amount of time and materials to extract the color itself at the time.
Purple was the color used to denote so-called "noble" people or beings.
In this work, we have attempted to elevate and upgrade purple, which has been perceived as a color of royalty, sovereignty, and nobility, into a slightly different concept.
This is purely my own opinion, but I feel that there has been a fundamental change in the concept of "nobility" between ancient times and the present day.
To put it a little more simply, in the past, nobility was a concept that was heavily influenced by origins and ideology, such as bloodline, monarchy, or gods, and was only given to a small number of people.
However, it seems that nobility is now being understood as a more personal concept, such as having one's own rules and aesthetics, not joining the crowd but not being isolated, and having free imagination.
The setting of this work is a convenience store, which at first glance seems like a lawless zone, but in this space, people live freely, revealing their true selves.
They respect each other without encroaching on each other's territory and share a single space.
In this complicated world, "noble people" are like the diverse and iconic sub-cast that populates the convenience store space, including the four members of WOLF, who have their own aesthetic, but also enjoy their differences and accept the stances of others, and who join hands and unite around one important thing (in this case, music).
We experimentally reconstructed the concepts of "purple" and "nobility" as words to describe such people.
<Comment from Nina Neves (Choreographer)>
This time, the song incorporates Brazilian funk,
I created this song while keeping in mind the sounds and movements that are unique to Brazilian funk.
I have Brazilian blood in me, so I want to cherish that groove and rhythm,
The song is composed to further highlight the appeal of the song, incorporating WHH hand signs and other elements.
It's catchy yet addictive,
The choreography is so good that the audience will want to dance along with it.
I would be so happy if you could join us at our live shows and other events!!
<Comment from Chaki Zulu (MUSIC PRODUCER)>
We pursued a sound that only the one and only boy band, WOLF HOWL HARMONY can produce. Armed with a worldview that is in line with the members' backgrounds and contexts, we want to make the whole world dance!
<LOAR (song writer) comment>
This song attempts PHONK, which once again brought home to me the breadth of WOLF HOWL HARMONY 's vision.
I am deeply inspired by the way the four of them approach each song with sincerity and continue to tackle the challenge with great passion.
Thank you for letting me participate in this wonderful song again!
"Gachi Funk" is a dance anthem by WOLF HOWL HARMONY from Tokyo, where the energy of Funk, Hip-Hop, and Brazil collide in a serious way.
Impulse over meaning, groove over correct answers - Portuguese, English and Japanese mix together, running through the night in a frenzy.
Gachi Funk transcends borders and logic, and is simply a way to dance the night away with all your heart.
