Nakamura Minami has released a summer tune, "ALA ALA," in which she writes about her memories of the Shonan area in the lyrics.

Rapper Nakamura Minami, who is also set to participate in salute's new album "TRUE MAGIC," to be released on 12 July on the UK's leading long-established label Ninja Tune, has released a new song "ALA ALA."

This song is one that she has been brushing up every time she performed it at festivals including FUJI ROCK and at clubs every weekend for the past three years. It is a summer tune with lyrics about her memories of the Shonan area, from Tsujido to Fujisawa, where she played as a teenager.

The track, which has a beat approaching Reggaeton and Dancehall and a disturbing UK Drill-like melody and bassline, was produced by Andrew of TREKKIE TRAX. It conveys a sense of her innocence and somewhat mysterious nostalgia.

"Miracle Body" is a collaborative track between rapper mezz and Nakamura Minami, based on a theme conceived by Nakamura herself: to love yourself wholeheartedly, no matter how others perceive you. The song boldly embraces features often seen as flaws-such as teeth alignment, birthmarks, or body shape-as a "miracle body," delivering a powerful message of unwavering self-love.

Produced by andrew of TREKKIE TRAX as a sequel to their previous work "Royal Milk Tea", the track takes inspiration from Jersey Club, transforming it into an uptempo dance tune with a warm, nostalgic tone. Blending the bittersweet mood of a late summer sunset with the duo's powerful lyrics and melodies, the result is an uplifting song that encourages listeners to move forward with confidence.

The music video, created by the cutting-edge creative crew GREENPLAZA, is also set to be released soon.

In addition to the original track produced by dubby bunny, which was a banging Jersey Club song, the collection includes a remix by Andrew, who released "Blueprint for The New Paradise EP" from TREKKIE TRAX last year and is active not only as a DJ but also as the main producer for Nakamura Minami.
