HYDE released the latest single, TAKING THEM DOWN, on June 16, offering a captivating blend of sentimental and energetic rock sound. Although the song is out, thus far, the music video only shows a 30-second preview.
Notably, TAKING THEM DOWN is featured on pachinko gambling machines in Japan, specifically found in the Hokuto Musou Chapter 4-machines, which are themed around the series Fist of the North Star.
Modern pachinko machines typically features a display and speakers to heightens the engagement of the player. During highlight moments, a feature segment can be triggered in which music is played, tied to the player’s recent actions.
