Product Description
Content Introduction In 2012, "Guns for Hands" was used in a RIGHT ON commercial starring Yu Aoi, causing a sensation. Twenty One Pilots, a popular Grammy Award-winning duo representing the American millennial generation, have built a dedicated fanbase by performing at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL and SUMMER SONIC, and supporting ONE OK ROCK on their tours. They have announced the release of their new album, "Scaled And Icy," on May 21st, their first in three years. In addition to the news of the new album, Twenty One Pilots have also announced that they will be holding their first-ever streaming event, "Twenty One Pilots ? Livestream Experience," which will be broadcast worldwide from 9 AM JST on Saturday, May 22nd. They will perform not only their many past hits, but also brand new songs from their new album, "Scaled And Icy." The site will also offer special virtual experiences to get fans excited even before the streaming event takes place. Over the past year, Josh has been working on drum engineering while traveling around the United States, and Tyler has been writing, composing, and producing in his home studio. The album "Scaled And Icy," completed through this "long-distance production," tells the story of the two as they grapple with the anxiety, loneliness, boredom, and doubt that so many people around the world experienced in 2020, as well as the drastically altered daily lives they faced. Although they had to abandon their usual studio sessions, the process allowed them to deeply reflect on their thoughts and feelings, leading to a more creative and bold approach to songwriting. As a result, they bounced back from setbacks and created a number of songs focused on "possibilities." In 2020, Twenty One Pilots surprised fans with the singles "Level of Concern" and "Christmas Saves The Year." "Level of Concern" reigned supreme on the alternative radio charts for 12 consecutive weeks, reached the top 25 on the US charts, earned RIAA Gold certification, and won the Favorite Artist award in the Alternative Rock category at the American Music Awards. "Christmas Saves The Year," released at the end of 2020, not only quickly entered the US charts but also the Alternative Airplay chart, becoming the first Christmas song to enter that chart since 2012. Furthermore, in 2020, Twenty One Pilots played the music video for "Level of Concern" for approximately 178 days, from June 21 to December 18, earning them a Guinness World Record for the "longest music video." A participatory project was held in which fans used materials distributed by the band to create and upload their own videos to YouTube, with over 162,000 fan videos being collected in real time, one after another, every 3 minutes and 40 seconds. Until then, the record for the longest running time was held by Pharrell Williams' "Happy," released in 2013, which lasted 24 hours. However, Twenty One Pilots' "Level of Concern" surpassed that number, setting a new record of 4,264 hours, 10 minutes, and 25 seconds. This new album, "Scaled And Icy," is sure to bring them even greater success.
