SiM releases their buzzworthy new track “FiVE TiMES DEAD (by my wallet)” alongside its music video!
SiM’s explosive new track “FiVE TiMES DEAD (by my wallet)” has just been released, kicking off with the striking phrase “Deddedededde! (Dead×5)” and racing forward like a roller coaster. Marking their first new song in about 1 year and 2 months, the track was created with an American producer—another first for the band—and takes SiM’s signature chaos to the next level. It’s a globally oriented metalcore anthem that amplifies their wild energy even further. Released just ahead of their self-produced festival “DEAD POP FESTiVAL 2026,” the track is already generating buzz across social media. Alongside the release, a must-see music video has also dropped, boosting the song’s appeal. Featuring an exaggerated, almost parody-like “fantasy Japan” set reminiscent of Hollywood films, the video transforms into a frenzy where not just five, but over twenty-five “DEADs” burst into chaotic bloom. With this video, “…MAJI?” edges even closer to becoming a universal phrase. Having been selected for a main stage slot at the UK’s Download Festival 2025, SiM continues to prove themselves as a globally active band representing Japan, and this video is packed with symbolic, high-impact visuals that reflect exactly that. With this bold and vivid new chapter, SiM is set to...
