FIND YOUR SPICE. LIVE TRUE TO YOU.FIND YOUR SPICE. LIVE TRUE TO YOU.

INTRODUCTION

We knew that when you mix a diverse set of people and talents, the extraordinary happens. So with a mission to create new culture, we brought artists and creators together to combine a unique story, masterful animation, and an all-new song from SCANDAL into something the world's never seen before.

The result? Our very first work: XPICE—a tale of heroes fighting to protect their city, and how they grow along the way. It's got a dash of courage, a pinch of teamwork, and a whole lot of heart.

STORY

Kokyo, a city brimming with people from all walks of life, and the prime target of the mysterious group Zerogram. But Red Pepper and Wasabi—a duo from the superhero league XPICE—aren't going to stand idly by.

Red Pepper's fiery punches deal with the baddies while Wasabi's healing touch cares for the wounded. Things seem to be going well on the surface. Deep down, however, Wasabi can't help but feel like there's more to being a hero.

One faithful day, the emergency alert blares—Red Pepper's in trouble!

Though unsure of their chances, seeing a teammate in danger helps Wasabi find the courage to rise to the occasion.

CHARACTERS

WASABI

WASABI

A fresh XPICE recruit with the ability to manipulate life energy, leading Wasabi to be assigned the role of healer.

Wasabi's drive to become a hero came from being rescued by one at a young age. And once Wasabi's life energy powers were noticed by XPICE, Wasabi was taken aboard as one of them.

Wasabi has an exceptionally strong drive to help others and carry out Wasabi's role perfectly, but Wasabi's never gotten the chance to really prove what Wasabi can do. Wasabi never thought Wasabi would feel so powerless being a hero.

RED PEPPER

RED PEPPER

The face of XPICE. Red Pepper's heat-bending powers let Red Pepper superheat punches and release devastating energy blasts.

Alongside rookie partner Wasabi, they fight to protect the city. Red Pepper tries Red Pepper's best to be a mentor for Wasabi, but it can be hard for Red Pepper to connect with Wasabi.

Red Pepper tends to stack a lot on Red Pepper's shoulders, often feeling the need to handle everything on their own. And though Red Pepper always puts on a strong face, it'd be a lie to say Red Pepper doesn't feel the pressure.

SPICE (Lyrics)

今だって手探りのまま
本当の“自分らしさ“なんて
消えない劣等感さえも
結局は僕らの一部だってことさ

大丈夫
胸に秘めた覚悟燃やせ
もう、弱さから逃げたくない

守りたいものが確かにあるから
また笑って突き進んで行けるんだ
飛び出して 狭い世界から
誰かを想って零れ落ちてゆく
涙は隠してたスパイス

言葉にすればする程
夢から醒めてしまいそう
全てを正当化したいんじゃない
正解はひとつじゃないって
分かり合いたい

大丈夫
剥き出しの姿で挑め
もう、悲しみも武器にして

諦めかけた夢を叶えに行こう
何度だってこの場所で会えるように
傷付いた分だけ強くなって
明日に向かって走り続けよう
無くさないで君だけのプライド

春風が吹いて 涙を拭いて
季節は変わってゆく

どこまで行けるかなんて分からないけど
僕に何ができるかなんて分からないけど

守りたいものが確かにあるから
また笑って突き進んで行けるんだ
飛び出して 狭い世界から
誰かを想って零れ落ちてゆく
涙は最高のスパイス
