Onda unveils his new music video for Megan Thee Stallion’s 'Mamushi,' featuring Yuki Chiba. Produced by ProdCo, the film turns a bathhouse into a stage as Megan Thee Stallion commands the screen.
The narrative unfolds in a space that's both grounded in reality and tinged with the surreal. As Megan moves through this world, her presence becomes increasingly enigmatic, culminating in a series of hypnotic performances. Reserved choreography throughout highlights the stunning wardrobe and styling choices while the understated and confident cinematography captures each moment with a photographic precision that enhances the surrealness of the video.
Beginning with a recreation of the iconic 'Heaven on Earth' scene from Rush Hour, the video introduces a man, guided by Yuki, who is drawn into a realm that is as dangerous as it is alluring. The film’s colour narrative changes dramatically, reflecting the evolving mood and scale. Starting in black and white, a nod to the legendary Akira Kurosawa, it gradually warms to rich tones as the man falls under Megan’s spell, and eventually cooling into blues for a hypnotic dance performed by an army. These elements work in harmony to create a regal and timeless aesthetic. The careful balance of visual elements ensures that each frame contributes to the overall impact of the video.
