PUNI PUNI DENKI’s latest conceptual EP, HYPERGRAVITY VISIONS is themed around a fictional SF game set in the late stages of a space war. It features the lead track "Star Runner", which portrays the journey of a hero runner who has lost their purpose, encapsulated in a galactic high-speed OutRun vibe. Additionally, the EP includes "Maze Maker", about a genius hacker who manipulates power through information; "Lonely Shooter", depicting a lonely sniper with a dual identity; and "The Veils", drawing the loss and rebirth of mysterious triplet psychics. These tales of individuals defying fate at the edge of the universe are brought to life by musicians from the remote planet Earth through electronic music!
The EP boasts a lineup of talented artists from around the globe, including the Scandinavian multi-artist Pikes, known for his unique synth grooves and the hit "Power Ranger"; Ace Hashimoto, a Chicago-born rapper/producer who loves Japanese culture and is known for collaborations and productions with big names like Tyler, The Creator, and Anderson Paak; MONJOE, recognized in Rolling Stone's "Future of Music" and known for his work with DATS and contributions to Number_i; Kamome Sano, who has extensively provided music for rhythm games and character songs, including official remixes for m-flo and tracks for Beatmania IIDX and Den-On-Bu; and Taishi Sato, garnering attention for his solo work while producing for ODD Foot Works and performing as Zatta. The cover art was created by Satoshi Ueda, a CG digital artist known for his work on various game and Gunpla packages, with design by Yumi Dan of Imagejack, who has handled many manga cover and anime logo designs.

<Comments by artist>
"It took about a year to start producing 'Star Runner' in Sweden, but we have finally managed to materialize this grand universe that marks both a return to origins and a new frontier. This collection of works was completed by involving various talented artists I've met through music, all sharing a love for SF otaku culture. Despite the niche theme, everyone focused on the goal and sprinted together. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude once again. I eagerly await the moment when we can share the shock and emotion of this earnest EP with all of you!"
