D'ESPAIRSRAY is BACK with their new single "RAPTURE" and we are absolutely blown away!

The dark, moody lighting paired with those contrasting bright spotlights creates such intense visual drama. The cinematography, the talent, the energy - everything about this video is absolutely stunning.

For those who don't know, D'espairsRAY is one of our all-time favorite J-rock bands, and words truly can't describe how excited we are about their return! If you're into visual kei or just incredible rock music, you NEED to check this out.

In 2007, J‑rocknorth Promotions Inc. had the honour of bringing ZZ to Canada — a moment that still hits close to home. Just a year earlier, their 2006 single “Samurai Blue” had become the official cheering anthem for the Japan national football team, echoing through stadiums and uniting fans around the world.

That spirit — passion, pride, and the electricity of a crowd moving as one — is something we’ve carried with us ever since.

And now, we’re channeling that same energy into our next chapter.
