I previously collaborated with Jimmy Brown on the song Bag on You, and I remember being really moved by his voice and vibe, so I’m very happy to be able to sing together like this again. is.
I created the song with the intention of creating a scene, so please listen to it with your eyes closed.
[Jimmy Brown comment]
When I first received the track, I imagined singing in a space covered in neon lights, and I worked with a style that was neither too heavy nor too light. While shooting the music video, I appreciated the multidimensional imagery the song carried, and it has undoubtedly become one of my top 5 songs from Viva.

[Tsuya-chan comment]
VivaOla and Jimmy Brown continue to capture contemporary R&B as new generation artists representing Japan and Korea. The song “RIGHT/WRONG” is the perfect culmination of the two’s common personalities: a skillful eclectic sense that naturally incorporates hip-hop sensibilities into R&B, a smooth and core voice, and a floating ambience. . Kota Matsukawa’s (wau) track, which expresses the hustle and bustle of the streets of Shibuya, is more noisy than usual, and Oriya Fujita’s songwriting is also dramatic. Even the casual rhymes are full of dynamism. At the same time, VivaOla & jimmy brown’s melting voices envelop them, and even the lonely memories floating in the city come to mind. A story woven together by a rotating projector, hustle and bustle, and tranquility. A song filled with a story filled with movement and stillness, just like a movie.
