Megan Thee Stallion feat. Yuki Chiba: Mamushi

“Best Trending Video” winner at the 2024 MTV VMAs, and a bonafide worldwide sensation, “Mamushi” gets the music video it deserves, and we’re proud to have been in charge of local production.

Megan Thee Stallion brings her snake-themed arc full circle with a track named after Japan’s most venomous viper, busting out some solid JLPT N3-level bars alongside Tokyo’s favourite rapper, Yuki Chiba. Directed by Onda and shot by Patrick Golan, the video shot on location at Kamakura’s Enkakuji and Kanagawa’s Jinya Onsen sees Megan racking up a body count that would have most super sentos shut down for good, while Chiba disposes of the evidence just like he buried any lingering doubts over his post-Kohh comeback. Together they make the best crime-fighting, cross-cultural partnership since Rush Hour 2, while Tokyo Vice’s Sho Kasamatsu reprises his gangster role as a Yakuza john catching strays in an unforgettable cameo.

Number one on the Billboard chart, number one trending on YouTube, shout out to all the crew who poured sweat and tears into this: 俺らはスター.
