The video is directed by composer and producer YOSHIKI.
Composer and producer YOSHIKI (X Japan) has debuted a music video he directed, starring the cast of Bride Hard: Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp, Colleen Camp, Gigi Zumbado, and Academy Award winner Da’vine Joy Randolph.
The video features “Butterfly (Acoustic Version),” the latest single from rising J-Pop artist Bi-Ray, available to stream now. The original version of “Butterfly” soared to #1 on YouTube (9M+ views) and the iTunes Pop Chart in Japan and was also featured in the trailer for the summer action-comedy Bride Hard.
Bi-Ray made their U.S. debut earlier this year with a performance of the national anthem at Dodger Stadium during Japanese Heritage Night. Bi-ray’s four members—Emi, Hinata, Cocomi, and Michelle—were personally handpicked by YOSHIKI.
YOSHIKI shares, “The moment I heard their voices, I knew they were something extraordinary. Each member has a unique sound and together they’re a force ready to change the future of J-Pop.
“Butterfly (Acoustic Version)” is a slow-burning ballad that begins with stripped-down instrumentation before building into a larger, cinematic arrangement. The accompanying music video, directed by YOSHIKI, opens with the cast of Bride Hard prepping the group for stardom.
