GUMMY Shifts Gears on New EP with Intimate 'Zouka' Video
J-rock band GUMMY released their second music video for 'Zouka' (Artificial Flower) on August 25, showcasing a slower, moodier side on their new EP GIVE ME CHOCOLATE. The physical release dropped September 3 with six tracks blending classic rock with softer arrangements.

GUMMY unveiled their second music video for Zouka (Artificial Flower) on August 25, marking a tonal shift for the four-piece rock band. Shot in a dimly lit, empty music venue, the video captures an intimate performance of the slow-tempo track, which closes out their second EP, GIVE ME CHOCOLATE.
The new video presents a deliberate contrast to GUMMY's debut visual for Koori no Ketsumatsu (Ice's Conclusion). Where that first effort leaned into the band's raw energy, Zouka trades velocity for atmosphere. Vocalist Gara delivers heart-wrenching vocal lines over instrumentation that, despite its slower pace, retains the angst GUMMY established on earlier releases. The band maintains their signature aesthetic—rock star styling with drag presentation—across both videos.
GIVE ME CHOCOLATE, released physically on September 3, contains six tracks that represent GUMMY's most deliberate pivot yet. Their debut EP, GIVE ME GUMMY, was built on high-tempo chaos and unfiltered urgency. The new record softens that approach without abandoning the band's rock foundation. Songs like Kami to Ishi (Paper and Stone), Manos, and the title track Barbora all sit in this expanded sonic range.
Gara (vocals), Mad Dangerous (guitar), KOHTA (bass), and Lotty (drums) crafted an EP that proves the band can command a room at both volumes. The teaser video for GIVE ME CHOCOLATE offers a preview of this fuller sound.
As of now, GIVE ME CHOCOLATE has not been announced for streaming services, though the band did make their debut EP available on multiple platforms as of September 3. Both records are available for purchase through CDJapan, Tower Records, and littleHEARTS, with GIVE ME GUMMY also on iTunes and Amazon Music.
