Following the success of their May EP “MY EYES OPEN VVIDE” — which peaked at #4 on Billboard’s World Albums Chart and produced viral hits like ‘HANDS UP‘ that’s now surpassed 50 million YouTube views — MEOVV’s arrival in Japan feels like a natural step for a group already operating on a global scale.

It’s the kind of track built for both runways and festivals, underscoring MEOVV’s ability to seamlessly blend pop sensibilities with artistic polish. The single’s alignment with Kao’s MEMEME product line, a brand centered on expressive beauty and confidence, is a perfect match for MEOVV’s bold and youthful identity. The brand’s new campaign commercial, featuring the group, is already generating buzz across Japanese media and digital platforms.
