The globally active superstar septet group Travis Japan invites us to play with them in their new release “LEVEL UP!” The modern funk track is packed with synths, 8-bit sweeteners, and catchy lyrics that play on the world of retro gaming.
On YouTube, we get to see the short version of the music video but the full version will be included as a bonus feature on the album’s “Premium T” and Family Club editions, and we see them take on parodies of classic titles like Street Fighter, Dance Dance Revolution, and VR Racing.
“LEVEL UP” is another excellent hit showcasing their sharp, synchronized, and detailed choreography – a trademark of Travis Japan’s success and finest weapon. The music video is yet again simple, like the previous releases “CANDY KISS” and “Moving Pieces,” focusing on the boys and the dancing along with the visual effects and graphic additions.
Get yourself ready, exit the start screen, and begin your save file with “LEVEL UP“! The boys are the final boss and can’t wait to face you!
