SIRUP teams up with hard life for new single ‘Rendezvous’ ahead of Next Life Tour 2025
SIRUP officially released his new track “RENDEZVOUS feat. hard life” on May 7, blending raw emotion with smooth, mellow rhythms. The collaboration came to life through a direct offer from Murray of hard life, formerly known as easy life.
The song is produced by Taka Perry, who also worked on hard life’s upcoming album “onion” set for July 2025. “RENDEZVOUS” showcases a dreamy groove and lyrical depth reflecting the synergy of both artists.
Music Video Highlights a Journey Through Emotion
The official music video, which premiered on May 12, was directed by Shunsuke Shiraiwa. It follows two characters cycling through landscapes weighed with heartbreak and nostalgia.
The final scene, conceptualized by SIRUP, takes the characters beyond time and space into a cosmic setting. This ending creates a feeling of release and catharsis that mirrors the track’s mood.
Real-Life Friendship Fuels Creativity On Set
The video shoot was marked by laughter and positive energy due to the friendship between SIRUP, hard life, and Taka Perry. In a behind-the-scenes moment, Murray is seen rapping SIRUP’s verse in Japanese.
Their camaraderie reflects the song’s laid-back, reflective nature and will be further shown in upcoming behind-the-scenes content.
