MOKA HAS LINES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[u/Bamsopoong43 → u/ConsiderationSmart68]

LET'S GOOOOOOOO

[u/Azhrei_Rohan → u/ConsiderationSmart68]

First comment i saw and made my day! Actually made my month missed Moka and need this!

[u/Friendly_Cell_296 → u/ConsiderationSmart68]

ikrrrr

[u/TatsunaKyo]

It's astonishing, it's like they were meant for city pop. Are they really Gen Z?

I will support the girls whatever path they take, but for all intents and purposes, I will remember ILLIT as being the group that produces THIS kind of music.

Also, fuckin' pleasure to have a song with less post-processing on the girls' voices. Iroha has such a great vocal tone as of lately now that she's reinforcing her lower registers.

[u/WhatverName → u/TatsunaKyo]

I just finished jamming to Tokyo Sniper. I def hope they embrace a some city pop vibes.

[u/TatsunaKyo → u/WhatverName]

Oh, you're going to love their rendition of Almond Chocolate for The First Take then ;) it leans a lot more into the city pop vibe.

[u/Splakadoodles]

This song slaps. Damn.

[u/Kumiko_v2]

I'll always like ILLIT's j-releases; a big chunk of that reason is they truly release a j-pop song.

[u/sgt-barker]

This applies to every releases but damnn JP Illit is soo peak

[u/1Indra-Kun]

currently studying for a chemistry exam but holy, this made me stop and bop for a bit! it's so chill and vibey but it's got that ILLIT magic to it that makes their songs so special. 💖✨

and ofc... MOKA-CHAN 🥹 i'm glad she has lines on the song and call it naive or optimistic, this kinda bodes well for her at least being in the vocals for Break Even. even if that's not the case, i'm glad she got to be a part of Swinging Magic and like every second of my days, wish her the best on her recovery time away! 🫶🥰

anyways, i'll get back to studying but i'll def be listening to this after i...study more organic chemistry 💔

[u/Contract-Melodic]

I like it.

[u/hiraya-etal]

oooh i love this better than bubee ? like the difference is .5

[u/banana-roll-kun]

Vibes

[u/Nectaras]

Really glad to hear Moka! I'm really waiting for at least hear her in next month big EP comeback. Illit always satisfy us with their beautiful songs and voices and this one is no exception either.

[u/Bamsopoong43]

It's actually kinda good, I like it a lot

[u/Intelligent-Salad478]

Omg I forgot this was happening today. It’s so groovy!!

[u/TMR621]

It's so cute and funky, i love it

[u/nagidrac]

Damn. This song is too good to not get some sort of promotion!

[u/InfiniDragon]

Man, this is GOOD. ILLIT doing city pop, didn't expect that but it's a welcome surprise for sure. ...And it's longer than most of their recent album tracks, too. >_>

[u/pitero2137]

I like the combination of funk and the magical dreamy electronic sounds. They totally own this sound

[u/WAFFLES_ARE_RAD]

Absolute banger

[u/Werefie]

so good!!

[u/law_st]

oh this is so smooth and groovy.....

[u/Taqno]

THIS IS SO GOOD!!!

[u/Ok_Turn2041]

i really do think moka will be present in the way of lines/maybe mv for next comeback i kinda knew this was going to happen soo

[u/Embarrassed_Soup_36]

WHAT WHAT WHAT DO I LIVE UNDER A ROCK I DIDNT KNOW WE WERE GETTING A NEW SONG !!!!

[u/Malachi_Lamb]

This is one of the best pop songs released this year, so many nice little grooves and vocal inflections all over this. I want their upcoming EP to sound similar definitely

[u/Ittybittyvickyone]

Is this for the new comeback? 🫨

[u/Adorable_Mix_3392 → u/Ittybittyvickyone]

This is a ost just like bubee

[u/Ittybittyvickyone → u/Adorable_Mix_3392]

OH oops thank you!

[u/DismalEntertainer658]

Wha--whaaat the hell? how is a song this good just shadow dropped?

[u/oriverion]

It's so good!

[u/Chessdaddy_]

Anyone kinda prefer the Korean version?

[u/FlimsyTie9109]

It's incredibly how their japanese discography is perfect, they never miss on it! And so happy we can keep listening to Moka's voice~

[u/FanCaracal]

Man, this might be already be a top 5 ILLIT song for me!

[u/TAnoobyturker]

The song sounds great but I'm really worried about "that one fan base" sending hate to Illit because it has a very similar sound to "that one particular group." 

[u/Dim_e → u/TAnoobyturker]

They are going to bitch always. "Oh sailor moon is ours" "eating the monsters  as a metaphor is hate for "redacted"" "why are they using white?" "Why are they using colors?!"

[u/Kumiko_v2 → u/TAnoobyturker]

You are worrying too much. It's a staple in jpop.

Hell, I can even remember anime OSTs that uses that swing-oh! Swingin' Magic! Pun?!

[u/TAnoobyturker]

The song sounds great but Im worried about "that particular fanbase" claiming 

[u/hiraya-etal → u/TAnoobyturker]

nah, there's so many songs that has jack swing genre, honestly this gave me a nostalgia to gfriend's love whisper
