ALI – Wild Side (Music Video)

The anime opening version of the song was dropped on streaming services the moment the anime made its debut and it was played over 1 million times in just one month, becoming an international smash hit, particularly in America and Mexico.

The official music video was directed by HAVIT ART STUDIO, which has famously directed music videos for a large number of hip hop artists including KOHH and Tohji. The music video is set in a world where music is banned and ALI smashes the rules to restore music to the world. 

ALI will also be presenting their single and album to the entire country when they go on tour in Fukuoka, Osaka and Tokyo for their first live tour as a band. This is an exciting time for fans in Japan and all over the world.
