Japanese boy band DXTEEN is set to captivate fans with their highly anticipated 4th single, “Level Up”, scheduled for release on December 4th, 2024. This exciting new release marks a significant milestone in the group’s rapidly ascending musical journey.

The Concept: A Musical Quest

The single comes with an inspiring catchphrase that encapsulates the group’s ethos: “Life is a game without save points. Come explore a treasure hunt with us. This metaphorical approach reflects the band’s narrative of six young artists growing together, overcoming challenges, and leveling up both as individuals and as a team.

Musical Composition

“Level Up” will feature three main tracks:

  • Level Up (Title Track)
  • Hold You Tight
  • Handle

Each track will also include instrumental versions, providing fans with a comprehensive musical experience.

Music Video: A Creative Visual Journey

The recently released music video for “Level Up” offers a unique visual narrative. The band members are depicted exploring the world of a storybook, creating an imaginative and engaging visual experience. Notably, the choreography was crafted by TSUBAKILL, adding an extra layer of professional artistry to the performance.

Live Performance Teaser

Fans can look forward to a glimpse of the band’s live performance energy. The initial limited edition of the single will include a DVD featuring highlights from their 2024 DXTEEN 1ST ONE MAN LIVE TOUR – START OF THE QUEST. The tour setlist includes dynamic tracks like:
