FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
YOSHIKI’s Crazy Love Reaches New Heights
Revamped 14-Member XY Featuring Yuya Tegoshi Drops Surprise Release of Reimagined “Crazy Love” (XIV Version)

Los Angeles, CA — January 27, 2025 — “Crazy Love”, originally released as XY’s debut single produced by YOSHIKI, has captured hearts and left a lasting impact. Now, with the addition of new member Yuya Tegoshi, the song has been reimagined as a 14-member version, and the new “Crazy Love (XIV Version)” has been surprise-released today. Listen to the song HERE.

Last year, on Nippon TV’s YOSHIKI SUPERSTAR PROJECT X Season 2, the announcement of Yuya Tegoshi joining XY as a new member marked the group’s expansion to 14 members. Following the announcement, the group revealed their full lineup during the year-end broadcast of This Year’s Most-Played Songs: Annual Music Awards 2024 and debuted their revamped version of “Crazy Love (XIV Version)”. The powerful performance by the 14 members quickly became a hot topic on social media, trending immediately after the broadcast and leaving a striking impression as the dawn of a new era for the group.

Tegoshi’s vibrant vocals blend seamlessly with JAY’s delicate voice, adding depth and dynamism to the track and elevating it to an even grander scale. With its passionate melody and raw expression of love’s contradictions and beauty, “Crazy Love (XIV Version)” retains the brilliance of the original debut single while evolving into a work that breathes new life into the world YOSHIKI envisions, brought to life by the united power of the 14-member XY.

Experience the excitement and emotion of the reimagined “Crazy Love (XIV Version)” and witness XY’s bold new journey.
