BYU's top all male acapella group, Vocal Point, released a new music video.

Known for their unique remixes and arrangements of today's hottest hits, BYU Vocal point took their audiences around the world with BTS' award winning song "Butter." Instead of the usual production in studio or on local scenic sights, the new music video showcases 2024's lineup while on tour.

Vocal Point toured all around Japan, South Korea and Mongolia but the music video was filmed in Tokyo, Japan's top spots. Viewers see each singer's skills showcased in melodic lines, bass drops and Vocal Point's classic beat boxing.

The wide array of daytime tourist stops, city lights at night, spinning shots and even a shot of a back flip display the fun spirit the group brought with them on tour. This light heartedness is capped off with a thank you after the song that ends with a humorous trick of the eye.
