One OK Rock, the renowned Japanese rock band, has joined forces with Capcom, the leading video game developer, to create an exhilarating music video titled “Make It Out Alive.” This collaboration is a celebration of the highly anticipated release of Capcom’s new video game, “Monster Hunter Now,” scheduled to hit the shelves on September 14. The “Make It Out Alive” music video seamlessly blends the real and digital worlds, showcasing a thrilling adventure through the streets of Tokyo. I’m personally a huge fan of most Capcom franchises. Resident Evil and Devil May Cry have been one of my all-time favorite video game sagas. With the excellent Resident Evil 4 remake released recently I’m pretty sure Monster Hunter Now is gonna be a total smash.

One OK Rock was formed in 2005 and debuted in 2007. With their blend of emo and rock music matched with breathtaking live performances, they cultivated a following among the youth. From the band’s debut in 2007, they rose to the top of the musical world, performing at venues ranging from live house venues to summer festivals to the famed Nippon Budokan. They continued their journey, conquering outdoor stadiums, arenas, and dome venues throughout Japan. Beyond Japan, they struck a deal with an international label, taking their music to exciting new horizons and leading shows across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Following the release of “Luxury Disease”, the band went on a successful North American tour, followed by a dome tour in Japan. Afterward, they joined Muse on their US and European tours, and they’ll be finishing the year with their largest Asian arena tour ever. Now let’s see what they have in store for us in this new endeavor with Capcom!

“Make It Out Alive” takes viewers on an enthralling journey filled with adrenaline and excitement. The video features the band on stage centered on the streets of Tokyo, blending seamlessly with the urban landscape. As the video unfolds, we see a girl running from a horrible monster and reaching Shibuya Scramble Crossing, where an epic encounter awaits. The video’s climax showcases the girl not running anymore but standing up to the formidable monster Diablos. This awe-inspiring moment captures the essence of both Monster Hunter Now’s exciting gameplay and One OK Rock‘s signature blend of emo and rock music. Through a seamless fusion of live-action footage and stunning digital effects, “Make It Out Alive” brings to life the intense emotions and energy that both One OK Rock and the Monster Hunter franchise embody. Viewers are transported into a world where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, creating a visually captivating experience like no other. I would love to see a Japanese version of the song!

This collaboration holds immense significance for fans of both the band and the video game franchise. By merging their respective artistic styles, the collaboration amplifies the excitement and anticipation surrounding the release of the game. The music video not only serves as a visually stunning piece of art but also serves as proof of the power of cross-genre collaborations.

In the upcoming release of “Monster Hunter Now,” fans can look forward to embarking on thrilling adventures in the digital world. Simultaneously, One OK Rock‘s fans can rejoice in the band’s remarkable collaboration with Capcom, as showcased in the “Make It Out Alive” music video. This collaboration offers a unique blend of emo and rock music, seamlessly integrating with the captivating world of “Monster Hunter Now.” With its release on September 14, both the video game and the music video promise to leave fans exhilarated and craving for more. I can’t wait to get my hands on Monster Hunter Now. I’m sure it will bring a fresh experience to the franchise, and I’m looking forward to playing it.
