PLAVE Makes Comeback with “Flame”

Virtual idol group PLAVE released a teaser video for the music video of their digital single “Flame (feat. millet)” at midnight on the 3rd through their official YouTube channel.

PLAVE made the digital single “Flame (feat. millet)” available on various music streaming platforms at 6 p.m. on the 3rd. The new track is a rock song that evokes images of blue flames, expanding upon PLAVE’s J-band sound featured in their Japanese debut single “Kakurenbo” with the dynamic energy typical of Japanese anime rock and a narrative centered on passionate youth.

Music Video and Sound The teaser video shows PLAVE portrayed as characters from an anime, sprinting vigorously alongside a soccer ball. Combined with the intense rock sound, it previews a fresh yet fervent atmosphere of youth. The guitar riff that introduces the song resembles the footsteps of boys running energetically with just a ball, delivering a powerful sense of energy.

Video Direction and Collaborations The music video was created in a unique format that blends anime, virtual elements, and live-action by drawing inspiration from the animation style of 1990s Japanese anime, alongside footage of PLAVE and millet singing. This is the first time PLAVE’s music video has combined such diverse visual elements to visually express the freshness of youth, the dynamic momentum of the song, and the passionate energy reminiscent of blue flames.

PLAVE also participated directly in composing this track. “Flame,” completed through collaboration with Japanese singer-songwriter millet, marks the beginning of a youthful sprint.
