Just last week we reported that folk/pop duo Kobukuro would be releasing their latest single “Kokoro” on May 24th.  In order to coincide with its earlier digital release date, the pair have now published the PV for the lead song to their label’s official Youtube channel.

Kokoro’s music video is a special collaboration between Kobukuro, EXILE/Sandaime J Soul Brothers member NAOTO, and art group teamLab, allowing for a combination of the talents of all involved.  Set in a dark room lit only by the motion of digitally created waves, Kobukuro sing while NAOTO performs an interpretive dance based on the song.

You’ll find the full version of this visually striking PV below.

Back in March we reported that popular rock act RADWIMPS would be releasing a new Double A-side single on May 10th.  Now that the date has arrived, the band have made the PV for the second A-side, “Sennou”, available for viewing on their official Youtube channel.

This video cuts between shots of the trio performing this sprawling alt. rock banger and scenes featuring the boy who posed for the single’s artwork.  As in the release’s jackets, the young man acts as both angel and devil, demonstrating that both are contained within all of us.

Read on below to find the full music video for “Sennou”.

Early last month we reported that rock mainstays Ulfuls will be releasing their 14th studio album “Jinsei” on May 24th.  A couple of weeks ahead of the record’s street date, the group have made the video for its lead track “Bakayaro” available on their label’s Youtube channel.

This PV was directed by Yuichi Kodama, primarily known for his work with Perfume and Shiina Ringo, and features both the band’s members and a wolf wandering through a warehouse.  Per Yuichi, this striking monochrome music video is meant to represent the fact that everyone is a lone wolf walking on the wild side of this thing called ‘Life’ (“Jinsei”), and that even as we all get older and things grow more difficult, we will still continue to walk on.

You’ll find the full version of Bakayaro’s music video just beneath the jump.

In order to commemorate the album’s release, the trio have chosen to publish the music video for its title track and opener “YES” to their Youtube channel.  The video is composed entirely of footage from their outdoor live in Osaka at the end of last month, showcasing both the band’s stage presence as well as the enthusiasm of the crowd.
