anniversary this year. Following their arena tour, “MAN WITH A “15th” MISSION PLAY WHAT U WANT TOUR 2025,” featuring a set list requested by fan vote, the band is currently thrilling summer festival venues across Japan. Fans were in a frenzy when they suddenly announced a new song without any prior notice, a first in their band history. The song’s lyrics and music were written by Jean-Ken Johnny. The lyrics are entirely in English, and the sound is produced by Masayuki Nakano of BOOM BOOM SATELLITES/THE SPELLBOUND, creating a majestic and profound sound unlike anything they’ve ever heard before. MAN WITH A MISSION will kick off their “MAN WITH A MISSION ‘HOWLING ACROSS THE WORLD’ UK/EU TOUR 2025” in London in October. With their international tour looming, this was a delightful surprise for fans around the world.

I wanted to create a dark, heavy, and majestic number, but the theme I chose as my motif was the image of a person confronting a supernatural being in mythology. I believe that even in the real world, there are days when we resist great powers and the world of impermanence. I hope that you will relate to this story-like song and that it will give birth to a heart that will not bow to anyone or anything, and give you strength. Please give “Against the Kings and Gods” a listen. ▼MAN WITH A MISSION “Against the Kings and Gods”
