FLEUR

Singer FLEUR, known for his diverse sonic approaches and sweet, captivating voice, has been drawing increasing attention. His latest track, "DOWN," featuring R&B singer Kouichi Arakawa, was created around the internet meme "Doshitan? Hanashikikoka?" ("What's wrong? Want to talk about it?").

Reflecting on modern Japan, where the rise of dating apps has seen a shift from passive, herbivore-like men to more assertive, carnivore-like personalities, this track emerges as a bold party anthem for the new era, poised to propel both artists to new heights.

The track is produced by Rikuto Nagira, a key member of lo-key design and shosha, who has worked extensively on FLEUR's music.

RhymeTube

RhymeTube, which released a full album "KOZMO" last year with the participation of 15 gorgeous rappers, has been releasing a series of albums in the past few months, and has welcomed singer-songwriter "Kouichi Arakawa" as a guest performer on a new R&B-style beat. 
RhymeTube has produced and streamed over 400 million songs for artists such as Rinne, Sorane, Jinmenusagi, SUSHIBOYS, 4s4ki, and many more.
The new song is based on hyperpop sound, which is one of the strengths of "RhymeTube," but has a mellow and calm beat, with an emotional melody by "Kouichi Arakawa" that feels lonely at night. The song is a cross between an emotional melody line by "Kouichi Arakawa", a beautiful voice, and sentimental lyrics.
