Okinawa’s Nightlife Heats Up with “SUNDAY EXTREME by epica”
Okinawa’s vibrant nightlife scene is set to reach new heights with the launch of “SUNDAY EXTREME by epica,” a brand new weekly party kicking off on February 22, 2026. Hosted at the renowned Epica Okinawa, this event promises an electrifying atmosphere, headlined by the dynamic female rapper MaRI, who is currently on her “CLUB TOUR 2025-2026” to celebrate her latest EP, ‘Trophy Bitch.’ Adding to the excitement, women who follow Epica’s SNS channels will enjoy complete free entry, along with three complimentary drinks, making it an irresistible invitation to experience the island’s premier party destination.
MaRI: The Fiery Rapper Taking the Stage
MaRI, a female rapper with Brazilian roots hailing from Gifu Prefecture, has rapidly ascended to stardom, captivating audiences with her powerful lyrics and magnetic stage presence. Her 2021 hit “BUM BUM” became a club anthem, propelling her into the spotlight. In April 2023, she unleashed her 1st EP, “PENTHOUSE,” a collection of tracks that resonate as audacious “bitch anthems.” MaRI’s collaborations with industry heavyweights such as AK-69, Yellow Bucks, and DJ RYOW, alongside her contributions to popular tracks like “Bad Bitch Bigaku” and “Team Tomodachi (Tokai REMIX),” have solidified her reputation as a “featuring queen.”
Last October, MaRI released her much-anticipated New EP, ‘Trophy Bitch,’ an album that continues to showcase her unique blend of raw energy and lyrical prowess. This release is the driving force behind her extensive “CLUB TOUR 2025-2026,” which sees her performing in over 20 cities across Japan annually. Her appearance at Epica Okinawa is a testament to her growing influence and undeniable momentum in the Japanese music scene.

HABUSH has already made a significant impact, recording the highest nightclub sales in Japan in 2025 and ranking second in national retail sales. To celebrate its success and share the Okinawan spirit, Epica Okinawa is hosting a special HABUSH sampling campaign from February 10th to February 28th. All visitors will receive a complimentary HABUSH drink ticket, and VIP table reservations for two hours after 1 AM will be treated to a free bottle of HABUSH.
