Capitol Music Group5 Seconds of Summer mixes old and new for their new music video for “Youngblood.”
The video — shot in Tokyo — kicks off with an elderly Japanese couple who each take a pill that makes them young again, but only for 24 hours. We then see their younger versions dressed in retro-1950’s style, as the video gives us a snapshot of the Japanese Rockabilly subculture.
“The Japanese Rockabilly culture is that of a renaissance and a beautiful flare of passion for everything old and new and that makes this particular subculture so interesting and amazing to us,” 5SOS’s Ashton Irwin says in a statement.
He adds, “We hope you enjoy this video. Thank you for allowing us to be explorative with the concepts we choose to visually express our songs to you. Thank you to everyone that brought this video to life.”
The band doesn’t actually appear in the video, but you can see them live when they kick off their North American headlining tour on August 27.
