The music video for the Eve × Deu (PEOPLE 1) collaboration track ‘Like The Flatwoods Monster’ receives the MAPPA treatment in a surprise release on Eve’s official YouTube channel.
Released digitally on May 3rd, the single, stemming from both Eve and PEOPLE 1’s ending theme contributions to the 2022 TV anime ‘Chainsaw Man’, combines Eve’s powerful vocals with Deu’s solid rap flow. MAPPA, the renowned animation studio behind ‘Chainsaw Man’ (as well as ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ and ‘Attack on Titan Season 4’), further enhances the collaboration.
About Eve:
Eve, starting out as an utaite covering Vocaloid songs, has become an integral part of the anime music scene. Since his debut album ‘OFFICIAL NUMBER’ in 2016, Eve has become a massive name worldwide due to his high-profile collaborations with critically acclaimed anime series like ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ and ‘My Hero Academia’. Hits like ‘Dramaturgy’ surpassed 170 million views on YouTube, and his subsequent albums, including ‘Otogi’ and ‘Smile’, consistently charting in the top ranks. Notably, ‘Kaikai Kitan / Ao no Waltz’ topped the Oricon daily ranking and became the most streamed Japanese song on Spotify internationally in 2021.
In 2022, Eve drew crowds of 25,000 people at his largest hall tour at the time, riding that momentum to his first arena tour, ‘Eve Arena Tour 2023 “kororon”’, and a two-day concert at the Saitama Super Arena in 2023, attracting 35,000 attendees. On May 8th, he starts his completely sold-out first Asian tour titled ‘Culture’, which will see him perform in Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Taipei, and Kanagawa.
About PEOPLE 1:
PEOPLE 1, comprised of Deu (vocals, guitar, bass, other), Takeuchi (drums), and Ito (vocals, guitar), burst onto the scene in December 2019 with their debut collection ‘Taishu Ongaku’ (Popular Music). Their breakout moment came in 2022 when their song ‘DOGLAND’ was featured as the ending theme for the anime ‘Chainsaw Man’, which has 42 million streams on YouTube and Spotify collectively.
Following the success of ‘DOGLAND’, PEOPLE 1 released ‘GOLD’, with the title track serving as the opening theme for the anime ‘Ranking of Kings: Treasure Chest of Courage’. In January 2024, the band dropped their second album ‘Star Tour, Venus to You’ and held their inaugural arena performance at Kanagawa’s PIA Arena MM.
