Members NICHOLAS, YUMA, JO, MAKI of the global group &TEAM from Japan have released the lyric video for the song 'KAWASAKI (＆TEAM Remix)', in collaboration with SANTOS BRAVOS, who debuted as HYBE LATIN AMERICA's first Latin pop group in October 2025, on the official HYBE LABELS YouTube channel. This song marks &TEAM's first participation in singing a Spanish song, realizing a dream collaboration between SANTOS BRAVOS, who aims for the world from Latin America, and &TEAM, who aims for the world from Japan. On February 13, the music video for SANTOS BRAVOS' 2nd single 'Kawasaki' featured the letters &TEAM on motorcycle parts, sparking discussions on social media like 'Is &TEAM collaborating? What is happening?' When the remix was released on the 16th, voices like 'I've been waiting!' and 'I'm so excited!' poured in. Fans from Latin America's LUNÉ (＆TEAM's fanbase) also expressed their joy, raising expectations for the song. 'Kawasaki' is a club dance tune that fuses Latin urban sounds with the unique rhythm of Brazilian music. The lyrics, which liken the thrill of falling in love to the engine of a racing motorcycle, are impressive. The lyrics, which blend Spanish, English, and Portuguese, harmonize with the members' diverse tones, receiving positive feedback from fans worldwide, and the addition of Japanese by &TEAM has added a new charm. The released lyric video features dynamic visuals based on SANTOS BRAVOS' 'Kawasaki' music video, with &TEAM's NICHOLAS, YUMA, JO, and MAKI freely singing over lively melodies and Latin pop rhythms. The project of 'KAWASAKI (＆TEAM Remix)', sung in Spanish and Japanese, is expected to create a new global impact through the local synergy of the two groups debuting from Latin America and Japan, both aiming for the world. Additionally, &TEAM announced on the 12th the release of their 3rd EP 'We on Fire' (to be released on April 21) and the '2026 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR 'BLAZE THE WAY'', which will tour 11 cities, raising expectations for the group's activities in 2026. ◆ &TEAM's comment: We are truly fortunate and have had a wonderful experience collaborating with SANTOS BRAVOS. We feel a special bond as groups with the same goal of aiming for the world from Latin America and Japan, and seeing SANTOS BRAVOS' success inspires and encourages us. We hope you can feel the synergy born from the two groups in this song.
