Japanese Beatbox Pioneer BATACO Releases Expansive New EP ‘Anima Huma’
World Champion Collaborator YAMORI Joins Forces on Electrifying New Music Video
Japanese beatboxer BATACO, an artist celebrated for pushing the boundaries of vocal performance, officially released his highly anticipated second EP, Anima Huma, on February 4th. This vibrant collection of tracks delves into the dualities of existence, featuring a standout collaboration with the equally acclaimed beatboxer YAMORI on the new single “What I’ve got ft. YAMORI,” for which a captivating music video premiered on the same day.
BATACO is a formidable force in the global beatbox arena, recognized as the first Japanese artist to clinch the Asian Championship title. His prowess extends to the world stage, where he achieved Japan’s highest-ever solo ranking, reaching the top four. After a five-year period of intense refinement away from the spotlight, BATACO returns, poised to redefine beatboxing as a form of singing. His past battle videos alone have garnered over 50 million views on YouTube, a testament to his exceptional rhythm and flow that resonate worldwide.
The EP’s title, Anima Huma, draws its essence from the ancient Greek roots of “Animal” and “Human.” This concept is vividly expressed across the four tracks: “Let’s go” and “Never Enough” embody BATACO’s raw, animalistic energy, while “What I’ve got” and “Birth” explore his more introspective, human facets. The collaboration with YAMORI, a world champion in the beatbox tag division and an emerging artist transcending genre boundaries, marks a significant moment. Together, these two titans of the beatbox world are forging a new path for vocal music, demonstrating how their unique talents can merge into a powerful, genre-defying sound.
One track, “Birth,” has already captured widespread attention, with its accompanying music video featuring over 10,000 bees accumulating approximately 800,000 views across social media platforms. The sheer audacity and visual spectacle of this video highlight BATACO’s innovative approach to artistry.
