King & Prince co-star with Mickey & Friends in new music video! A first for Japanese artists
A short clip of the music video for King & Prince's new song "What We Got ~Kiseki wa Kimi to~" has been released on YouTube.
"What We Got ~Kiseki wa Kimi to~," digitally released May 23, is a song created as part of "Mickey & Friends In Real Life," a large-scale project Disney is developing globally as a kickoff for Mickey Mouse's 100th screen debut anniversary in 2028. It is based on the Disney song "What We Got (Mickey's Birthday Song)," released in 2016, and features original arrangements. King & Prince also handled the Japanese lyrics.
In the newly released short clip, King & Prince and Mickey & Friends co-star. The theme of "Mickey & Friends In Real Life" – "Mickey and friends, and us spending our daily lives together" – is expressed set in Shibuya, the epicenter of pop culture. This marks the first time Japanese artists have co-starred with Mickey & Friends. The full version of the MV is scheduled to be released this summer. Hidden Mickeys and Easter eggs also appear in the video, so try to find them.
Ren Nagase commented on the video: "They've been our friends since we were little, but the concept of the MV is that we develop our friendship with Mickey and friends even within the world of the music video! It's new for King & Prince, and I think it will be a new kind of performance for our fans to see as well."
Kaito Takahashi said: "It's packed with homages, so I hope that people who love Mickey will also think, 'Wow!' And I myself have a lot of fun dancing it. I enjoy trying to change the nuances a little bit each time I dance, having fun with it. I think the song and choreography are such that anyone can dance to it, from children to seasoned veterans of life!"
NOPPO (s**t kingz), who handled the choreography, stated: "I created it with the theme 'Let's all have fun dancing and head towards the future!' In my mind, Mickey and King & Prince have this image of making everyone who supports them happy, without leaving anyone behind. I focused on creating a dance that anyone can enjoy, such as the members all walking in step together, or casting a spell and everyone dancing together."
Note: The 'Taka' in Kaito Takahashi's last name is officially written with the 'hashigodaka' character.
