The lyric video for “Sweet Sweet feat. Toki Asako,” the first digital single of 2024 by “THREE1989” (pronounced: Three), a group made up of three members born in 1989, was released today.
Sweet Sweet feat. Asako Toki / THREE1989 – Lyric Video ▼
The song is a Reiwa-style city pop duet song in the style of THREE1989, reminiscent of “Tastyanahito” (Important Person), which was co-written with the Queen of City Pop, Toki Asako. The lyric video is a work that matches the song, combining impressive lyrics with driving footage.
Please check it out along with the video of the session with Toki Asako that was released the other day.
“Sweet Sweet feat. Toki Asako” was created when THREE1989 was never able to forget the impact they had when they heard Toki Asako’s 2017 song “PINK,” which led to an offer to her. Vocalist Shohei wrote a letter expressing his feelings to Toki Asako, which led to this collaboration. Shohei and Toki Asako discussed the concept and lyrics many times and created a song that evokes the image of a drive. The members of THREE1989 themselves composed and arranged the song, with Toki herself also involved in the production of some of the melodies. The new nostalgic backing track features the two singers’ harmonies, creating a THREE1989-style city pop song.

THREE1989 (pronounced: Three)
Shohei (Vocals)
Datch (DJ)
Shimo (Key)
The group consists of three members born in 1989.
Each of the three members writes their own lyrics and music, and their music is characterized by a “New Nostalgic” feel that is modern yet somehow nostalgic, combining sounds from the 70s, 80s and 90s such as New Jack Swing, Funk, Disco and R&B with dance music.
Their live performances are a testament to Shohei’s (Vo) overwhelming vocal ability and beautiful voice, Datch’s (DJ) playing style that goes beyond the bounds of DJing, making extensive use of scratching and samplers, and Shimo’s (Key) high level of performance ability, able to use a variety of instruments.
So far, they have performed solo concerts at Liquid Rooms and at many festivals in Japan, as well as performing overseas in countries such as Taiwan, Korea, and Spain. They have also collaborated with many other artists, releasing collaborative songs with overseas artists such as Ink Waruntorn (THA), LINION (TWN), and Midas Hutch (NLD), expanding the scope of their activities to the world.
