Top-selling Japanese vocalist, musician and actor, Jin Akanishi, under the Warner Music Group since December 2010, is taking the U.S. by storm with his highly anticipated all-English single, “Test Drive featuring Jason Derulo,” out in the U.S., November 8, 2011. Accompanying the powerful single will be a provocative and innovative music video directed by Frank Borin. “The track has such a big and catchy sound,” Borin stated, “I wanted to make a cinematic video that is just as epic.”

Filmed in Los Angeles, the music video takes place in an underground world that is inspired by the glamorous life of auto thieves where mystery and sexiness is combined with adrenaline. It has a very high cinematic vibe to its progression and style. The idea of “Test Drive featuring Jason Derulo” is used literally and metaphorically as Jin flirts his way through his crew of beautiful and seductive female thieves. “I had a great time filming the music video,” said Akanishi, “It definitely fits the cool vibe of the single.”

“Test Drive featuring Jason Derulo” is available for purchase through iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com on Tuesday, November 8th at 7:00AM PST. In concurrence with the release of “Test Drive featuring Jason Derulo,” Jin will also be answering questions from all his fans during a LIVE U-Stream session on his official Facebook fan page www.facebook.com/JinAkanishiMusic at 4:00PM PST on Tuesday, November 8th, hosted by Paul PK Kim, host of Mnet’s widely popular show, BPM.

About Warner Bros. Records

Warner Bros. Records is one of the most successful recording companies in music history and home to some of the most influential and innovative artists of our time. Its reputation and extraordinary roster of new and established recording artists is unparalleled, and its collective influence on pop culture is without precedent. In 2007, Warner Bros. was ranked the No. 1 record label in the U.S. as measured by Total Album share and has been ranked one of the country’s top three labels every year since 2003.

Warner Bros. Records was founded 50 years ago by Jack Warner, the last of the original pioneering Warner brothers, as an offshoot of Warner Bros. Studios, which, 32 years earlier, had introduced its Vitaphone sound-on-disc system for feature films. The acquisition of Frank Sinatra’s Reprise label in 1963 catapulted the company into one of the most dynamic organizations in popular music and throughout the next five decades built a family of labels that today represent a full spectrum of musical genres.
