Pentatonix is set to release a Japan-exclusive greatest-hits album to celebrate five years since the group's debut in the country.
To mark the occasion, the popular a cappella group recorded an impeccable cover of breakout J-pop band Official HIGE DANdism's "Pretender," which will be featured in PTX Japan 5th Anniversary Greatest Hits, due Wednesday (Nov. 13).
The cover is in Japanese, which the members nail in both delivery and pronunciation. "Singing 'Pretender' reminded me of when I used to be seriously into J-pop during my teens," says Mitch Grassi. "I think it's a really great song, and it was an honor to be able to sing it in Japanese."
The greatest-hits set will feature 22 tracks, including the group's Grammy-winning "Daft Punk Medley," its first Japanese-language medley of Perfume numbers, a mashup of "Despacito" (Luis Fonsi) and "Shape of You" (Ed Sheeran), as well as a number of the group's original songs and covers of hits old and new such as "Havana" (Camila Cabello), "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Queen), "Shallow" (Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper) and more.
The song has been released digitally on Japanese streaming platforms and is available for download on iTunes when pre-ordering the album.
