SIRUP and Ayumu Imazu have teamed up for the first time to release “UNDERCOVER”, a sleek, stylish R&B track that explores the contrast between the lives we show and the ones we hide, both online and offline. Out now on all platforms, the song is produced by Taka Perry, bringing a hypnotic, late-night groove with SIRUP’s smooth vocals and Ayumu’s bilingual flow.

The music video, directed by Daiki Kamoshita, pushes the concept further with cinematic visuals, sharp action sequences, and dual-choreography. Notably, Saori Izawa, known for her stunt work in “Kingdom” and “Rurouni Kenshin”, crafted the fight scenes, while Ayumu Imazu handled the final dance choreography himself. The result is a stylish visual that mirrors the song’s theme of duality.
