Without being bound by genre, he actively crosses over multiple cultures such as rock, hip-hop, and pop, which are his roots, and continues to expand the range of his activities with his diverse musical sense.In January of this year, he performed at his first Nippon Budokan. Novel Core has successfully sold out their performances, and is preparing for their first arena performance on February 11th next month.
He has invited SHUNTO and RYOKI, who are also active members of BE:FIRST, as featured guests, and released “OJIGI,” the second song by the three members, about a year and a half after “MF” released in October 2023. announced that it will be released on January 22, 2025.
The title of this second work is “OJIGI” (pronunciation: bow), in contrast to the first work “MF”, which has strong meanings such as “Misfits” and “Middle Finger.”
The producer is Ryosuke “Dr.R” who has worked on numerous songs both domestically and internationally, including Chanmina, milet, BE:FIRST, AK-69, and UVERworld. Produced with the help of Sakai, the catchy and funny hook and haunting synthesizer melody are impressive, and the track is eerie and freaky, paying the utmost respect to what they respect. While valuing bowing (bowing), the three members express their attitude of not being condescending or pandering to others, and not easily bending their individuality and style through their unique raps and songs. The result is a highly toxic song.
Furthermore, the music video for this work will be premiered on Novel Core’s official YouTube channel at 9pm on the day of release.
Prior to the release, a teaser music video was also released on Novel Core’s official SNS.
