MAN WITH A MISSION - BMW commercial tie-in + US tour

MAN WITH A MISSION is a Japanese band with quite an interesting backstory. Said to be the results of a mad science experiment at the hands of a genius biologist Dr. Jimi in a land called "Landyland," the five wolf-like creations with superhuman abilities embarked  on various top-secret missions, and ended up falling into the grasp of the  principality of Zeon, carrying out evil deeds. Dr. Jimi, wracked with guilt over what his experiments had become, put and end to the madness and froze them into an eternal sleep all the way in the South Pole. In the year 2010, due to global warming their tombs thawed, and they rose again. Their purposes yet unknown, they have set out on another mission, making their mark on audiences all over the world with a song featured in a commercial for the all-new BMW 4-series Gran Coupe. The song, entitled "babylon," is a track from their album entitled Tales of Purefly, which was released in March of this year. This couldn't come at a better time, since the band is about to embark on a North American tour this coming week, performing at various venues from Canada to California.

Guitarist Jean-Ken Johnny states:

I am honored to have our songs placed in the worldly-known BMW commercial. I would love to drive one. Then I will have to start from getting a driver's license. Thank you so much! 

With a song featured in a world-reknowned brand's commercial, a US tour, and a US-release EP released this past Thursday, MAN WITH A MISSION is certainly well on their way to become one of the most well-known bands in the world.

Check out their tour and release info below, as well as the commercial for the BMW 4-series Gran Coupe.
