FEMM + Duke of Harajuku Release Video for 'Summer Dream', from New Double A-side Single

A new music video has been released for 'Summer Dream feat. FEMM (S+ Ver.)', a collaboration between Japanese mannequin rap duo FEMM and Duke of Harajuku, a member of music label tokyovitamin based in Tokyo.

Duke of Harajuku's latest album ‘RAZZLE DAZZLE’ features such collaborators as Billboard charting trackmaker Star Boy and Kanye West/Wiz Khalifa conspirator Gab3, along with Japanese rappers FEMM, PETZ and Young Coco as featured artists.

As a girls' anthem with a darkly humorous message, mannequin rap duo FEMM's acclaimed song ‘Fxxk Boyz Get Money’ found an audience with teens and influencers in the United States, quickly spreading around Europe, South America and Asia. FEMM's debut album ‘Femm-Isation’ brought Japanese female rap to a whole new audience, reaching the Top 10 of Billboard's World Albums chart in the US.

On November 6, close friends FEMM and Duke of Harajuku released the collaboration single ‘Level Up’ / ‘Summer Dream’. For the double A-side release, Duke of Harajuku appeared on FEMM's new track ‘Level Up’, while FEMM reciprocated with a turn on a recut version of Duke of Harajuku's 'Summer Dream feat. FEMM (S+ Ver.)', the original version of which is on ‘RAZZLE DAZZLE’.

The new video for 'Summer Dream feat. FEMM (S+ Ver.)' joins the previous clip for 'Level Up feat. Duke of Harajuku'.

The two videos combine to make up one complete package: The shots in the ‘Level Up’ video where Duke of Harajuku is filming candid footage of FEMM with a camcorder and the scene where his lip-syncing does not match the lyrics (because he is in fact singing ‘Summer Dream’) is designed to match up with the new ‘Summer Dream’ video, so that the two promos complement each other. Both music videos were directed by filmmaker Yuki Tsujimoto, with footage shot over several days in rundown areas of the Tokyo suburbs to create a mysterious “Oriental” vibe. Check out both clips to see how they fit together.
