Multifaceted Artist vividboooy Navigates the Weight of Inner Turmoil on "Dark Matter," a New Single from His Forthcoming EP.

Japan
In a landscape that demands labels, vividboooy remains an artist who defies easy categorization. Celebrated for a signature melodic flow that exists in a space between singing and rapping, he now offers his most introspective work to date with "Dark Matter," the lead single from his forthcoming EP, "HIKARI," arriving July 1.
Produced by R.I.K, "Dark Matter" gives a name to the invisible, gravitational pull of anxiety and conflict—the internal struggle felt when life refuses to yield. The track is a meditation on the fight to break free. Over a hauntingly melancholic guitar riff, vividboooy lays bare his vulnerabilities, his signature 'Singin' Flow' weaving through delicate, incisive lyrics that feel both personal and universal.
On July 1, vividboooy will release "HIKARI," his third EP and his first full project in nearly six years, featuring "Dark Matter" among its five tracks. His creative output continues to surge: on August 13, he appears as a co-writer and co-composer on the title track of Stardust Forever, the new EP from BALLISTIK BOYZ from EXILE TRIBE. This comes as his vintage & archive store, 〈WEB OFFLINE〉, marks its one-year anniversary. As an artist, producer, and fashion icon, vividboooy continues to expand his "vivid" world, and his next chapter is essential viewing.

▼ A Word from vividboooy

"There was a time when I was consumed by loneliness, unable to rely on anyone, where all I could do was cry. Even after finding my way out of that darkness, these last two years have taught me that life is relentlessly difficult. Even someone like me has moments of weakness. My hope is that by listening to this song, I can offer some small comfort to those who are struggling right now."

◼︎ About vividboooy

vividboooy
Born in Tokyo in 1996, vividboooy creates a world entirely his own. With a unique artistic voice that transcends the boundaries of rap and pop, he crafts genre-defying (VIVID) soundscapes. Instead of chronicling his own life, he taps into universal truths, pairing them with irresistible melodies to carve out a lane previously uncharted in the hip-hop landscape. He first captured widespread attention in 2019 when the music video for his single "RELAXING" became a viral phenomenon, amassing over 14 million views. This success was followed by a sold-out release party for his debut album, "SYNCHRONICITY," at Shibuya WWW, and another for its 2023 sequel, "SYNCHRONICITY 2," at the larger WWW X, cementing his status as a captivating live performer. More than a musician, vividboooy is a cultural force, drawing international acclaim as a fashion icon and model.
