With JYJ enjoying massive success in Japan, it's no surprise that Junsu's new single "Flower" is heavily influenced by Japanese manga.

The haunting track, set against a grand orchestral ensemble, is an epic narrative of fragile love amid destructive forces.

"Come take my hand till the end. / Help me keep living for you ... a heartlessly trodden flower, looks like love is pain. / So many scars keep me prisoner and this wrenching sorrow feels like thorns," croons the singer.

The music video, unveiled Monday, references ancient civilizations and occult mythology.

Scenes shift between palace ruins and ominous forests, with supernatural beasts making occasional appearances.

Motifs throughout the video also allude to innocence, represented by a young girl, and witchcraft -- not too far a cry from the 2008 hit "Mirotic" by TVXQ, of which Junsu was a member.

The 28-year-old is scheduled to hold his first concert "2015 XIA 3rd ASIA TOUR CONCERT IN OSAKA -- FLOWER" in Osaka-jo Hall, Japan on Tuesday.
