“#Watch CHAI\u2019s Video for New Song \u201cPING PONG!\u201d<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

CHAI have released another visual for their forthcoming third album WINK<\/em>. The new track is called \u201cPING PONG!\u201d and features Japanese chiptune band YMCK. Check out the single\u2019s animated visual\u2014inspired by 8-bit, Japanese public hot springs (onsen), and table tennis\u2014below.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re channeling our inner playful selves, challenging ourselves to fun, and bringing you that nostalgic-feel with this song!\u201d CHAI said in press materials. They continued:<\/p>\n

There\u2019s just something about old video game<\/a>s that\u2019s super cute, a little tacky, yet at the same time fancy.\u00a0 Something that you think is \u201cold-school\u201d but at the same time super refreshing. YMCK collaborated with us on this and created the ultimate 8bit World of CHAI!
\u00a0
The theme<\/a> for PING PONG is exactly as is, \u201cping pong.\u201d In Japanese culture, there\u2019s this routine where Hot Springs or \u2018onsen\u2019 and playing PING PONG go hand in hand. When the four of us hit the hot springs, we always wear a Yukata (unlined Summer kimono), drink a cup of milk, and go right into some PING PONG! It\u2019s very Japanese, something we don\u2019t think exists overseas and that\u2019s exactly what we want to share!\u00a0 You can hear it in the lyrics and you can feel it in the music video!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

YMCK added: \u201cIt was our first time creating something from start to finish remotely but everything turned out amazing with each member\u2019s character shining through! Don\u2019t miss this ever-so free and forever dancing world of CHAI!\u201d<\/p>\n

WINK<\/em> arrives May 21 via Sub Pop. It follows their 2019 LP PUNK<\/em> and features previously shared singles \u201cMaybe Chocolate Chips,\u201d \u201cDonuts Mind If I Do,\u201d \u201cACTION,\u201d and \u201cNobody Knows We Are Fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
