• Release date: 2026 April 05

• Album tracklist: Heroine

• Album runtime: 4 minutes

 Well, we had the rap line drop a song (which I apparently didn't review and I could have sworn I did but whatever, I'll add it to the list). And now the vocal line has dropped a song. That means that we should look forward to the dance line dropping a song here in the next little bit. But y'all are about to be blessed with their vocals. I mean, the rap line trio has a set of beautiful voices, even if they never use them. But think about how much better the vocal line will sound. This is also apparently a cover of a Japanese song, but I have no idea what the original sounds like.

 Y'all, I could not be happier about the fact that there is a violin in this instrumental. There's also an organ, which I'm just delighted by. I'm very much liking this instrumental, everyone, and I may need to go check out the original. There's a bright wistfulness to this that I really and specifically like. This isn't a cheerful song, but it is fairly bright.

There are wasted spots where we should be able to hear their vibrato, but we don't. I'm sighing right now. I just need you all to know that. It's not that we're completely vibrato-less, thankfully because then I'd want to shake the producer for preventing that. But we're fine. It's also got a very Japanese sound to the vocals, and I know that it's in Japanese, but sometimes, the vocals flatten the way you'd expect if this was in fact a Japanese group that you don't hear often with Korean ones. I'm also a little over the moon about about the harmonies. This is all I want. And I know I started off whining, but I do really enjoy this song, and I hope this is going to be on the next mini album. Or first full album?

I'm telling you. The music videos for both this and the rapline's have been teasing something. What is "Okay"? We've seen it from a record and now from a TV with snow. I'm not going to spend too much time worrying about it because we'll find out. So they all appear to have died, but this is such a funny music video for how serious and sad the members are. They're in their feels, but the ghosts are being haunted. I hope they had fun with this, although knowing the personalities of the members involved, they probably did. There are also some lore bits involved, so I'll be taking another look at the three music videos once the dance unit's is out.
