Monsters in Tokyo? Totally normal. But seeing a reptilian kaiju star in OneRepublic’s latest music video? That was a fun surprise.
In the band’s music video for the new single 'Invincible', you’ll see a retired monster living its best life in Tokyo as it strolls the streets, hangs out in a park, goes grocery shopping, and even rides the Yamanote line.
Tokyoites might recognise a few of the spots featured in the video, including the area around Shibuya Station as well as Arisugawa-no-miya Memorial Park.
Excited by OneRepublic’s live performance in Tokyo – which it watches on TV – the monster ends up destroying Tokyo Tower, with the iconic structure breaking in half by the end of the video.
'Invincible' is OneRepublic’s second ending theme song featured in the first season of the anime 'Kaiju No. 8’. The band has also contributed another hit to the same show: 'Nobody' was its first ending theme.
