Rock band THEE MICHELLE GUN ELEPHANT made their major debut with the single Sekai no owari on February 1st, 1996. While they disbanded in 2003, it was recently announced that a special project called "THEE 30TH" is being launched to commemorate the 30th anniversary of their debut and preserve their works for future generations.

The project will see the group's past works remastered and re-released in three formats: Hi-Res 96kHz/24bit digital releases, 180g vinyl records and 4K video.

As part of this project, on February 1st, the 4K upconverted version of their music video for Sekai no owari will be premiered on their official YouTube channel. Following this, another music video will be unveiled each month.

A 4K upconverted version of the band's concert video WORLD CHICKEN ZOMBIES TOUR/1998.2.1/AKASAKA BLITZ will also be streamed on their YouTube channel at 19:00 (JST) on the same date. It is one of the 12 concert videos that will be featured on THEE LIVE, a six-disc Blu-ray box set that will also be released on February 1st. The stream will not be archived, so fans hoping to watch can set a reminder to help ensure they don't miss the broadcast.

Fans can keep an eye on the official websiteX and Instagram accounts for "THEE 30TH" for more updates on the releases from the project.

The original version of the music video for Sekai no owari can be viewed below, followed by live footage of Danny Go from RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL IN EZO 2002.
