Japanese Musician VK Blanka Releases New Song: "Never Run"

Acclaimed Japanese musician VK Blanka recently released the song "Never Run", complete with all-English lyrics, and it's available today as a digital release today. All the latest details, as well as links to the song itself, can be found below.

VK Blanka performed the new song yesterday with a full band at "VK Blanka presents RAINBOW ROAD -Den-", the third in his series of special events, which was held at Festival Hall in Osaka on a lineup that included Ayaka and Ryokuoushoku Shakai. "Never Run" was unveiled as a surprise, followed by today’s digital release.

VK Blanka toured North America in February this year, and the thrill he felt from his shows there influenced the highly danceable beats and arrangements of "Never Run". The song was mixed and arranged by fellow musician Josh Cumbee, who also collaborated on writing the lyrics, making it a song with a global sound and excellent English words.

Comment from Vicke Blanka
“I gained a lot of inspiration during my North American tour, and after I returned to Japan, I was filled with new ideas and the urge to write music – so I did. This song has a driving beat, which I hope you’ll enjoy.”
