Luv PARADE unleash moody new single ‘EDELWEISS’ ahead of 2025 Japan tour

Luv PARADE have just dropped their latest single ‘EDELWEISS’ along with a colourful yet moody music video.

‘EDELWEISS’ is driven by a brooding J-rock sound, drawing heavily from D’espairsRay, whose members make up three-quarters of the band. Fans of D’espa will feel right at home here. The track rounds out with a hopeful sounding crescendo, vocalist TAKA (defspiral) belting out his final reach for “the sunlight”.

The video matches the energy of the song with grey toned scenes of the band in a dilapidated building and forest, combined with colourful pink and blue shots for the chorus. Interspersed are shots of the song’s namesake flower, the edelweiss. In the language of flowers, edelweiss typically symbolises devotion.

Following the release of their first mini album ‘JOKER’ back in June 2024, this new single cements Luv PARADE as more than a limited time supergroup. ‘EDELWEISS’ is part of a double A-side release, joined by ‘SHOOT IT DOWN’, which first dropped digitally in November.

Additionally, Luv PARADE are due to start their 2025 Japan tour, also titled ‘EDELWEISS’. Starting on January 11th at Nishikawaguchi Hearts in Saitama, the band will perform across 7 venues. The tour final will be held at Tokyo’s SHIBUYA DIVE on February 1st. Tickets are available now via eplus (Japan only).
