Hinata Haru, who is known for her soulful and husky singing voice and has appeared on TX’s “Karaoke Battle” and was selected as one of the “10 Amazing Idol Vocalists of the Reiwa Era” on EX’s “Kanjam,” has been selected as the vocalist.

The song was written by FIVE NEW OLD, a four-member band that produces a world-class pop sound based on the concept of “ONE MORE DRIP” (“Adding color to your everyday life like aroma oil”), and the band’s vocalist HIROSHI wrote the lyrics.

The illustrations are by Natsumi Sato, an illustrator who has worked on a wide range of projects, including the “peloringirl” series, which features a girl with her tongue out, in pop colors that are reminiscent of the 90s, as well as advertising illustrations, and designs for artists’ CD jackets and merchandise.

Hinata Haru (The Dance of Philosophy)

A member of the idol group Philosophy of Dance. Her soulful and husky vocals go beyond the idol category, and she has expanded her horizons, appearing on TX’s “Karaoke Battle” and being selected as one of the 10 most amazing vocalists in the Reiwa era in the idol world on EX’s “Kanjam,” where she was introduced as an “unconventional soul singer.” Her voice is described by fans as “a very gory voice,” and she powerfully leads the group’s songs.

She also has solid dance skills, having learned dance from a young age. Since elementary school, her dream has been to become a singer. She was in a band, but when she couldn’t see the future, she decided that she couldn’t just use any means to become popular, and so she made the decision to enter the idol world.
