[MV] Creepy Nuts – Song of the Night Walkers

Creepy Nuts is a hip-hop duo whose members are both top-tier as an MC and a DJ, while also gaining attention for their appearances on variety shows.

This track is the title song from their major-label first mini-album Yofukashi no Uta, and it was also used as the ending theme for the TV anime of the same name.

With trap elements and phrases borrowed from classic rakugo, the arrangement is modern and original, offering a pop sensibility that makes it approachable even for those not familiar with hip-hop.

It’s cool hip-hop with catchy lyrics and a downbeat groove that can liven up a scene as a crowd-pleasing highlight.
