YonYon is a SSW/DJ born in Seoul and raised in Tokyo, and has been involved in a variety of activities, including hosting “The Link,” a project that connects Japanese and Korean artists through song production, and has worked as a bridge between the scenes.

As the title suggests, this song is based on the theme of “old friends.” YonYon has been working hard together since his debut as an artist.SIRUP,Shin SakiruraIt is a collaborative work by three people. With a peaceful sound that incorporates elements of hip-hop and gospel produced by Shin Sakiura, it is a peaceful number that compares life to climbing a mountain and sings about the journey towards the top of the mountain, gratitude for friends, and the strength of bonds. .

Furthermore, YonYon and Shin Sakiura accompanied SIRUP to their concerts in Seoul, South Korea in 2018 and 2024, respectively, and the lyrics of this work reflect their change of state of mind at that time.

[YonYon comment]

Living as an artist. The path I have chosen is sometimes tough and never easy, but I have cool friends around me who are working hard together.
In the course of my activities, I have met friends who I respect from the bottom of my heart, and have friends with whom I can work hard even when I share my honest feelings, which has been a great source of emotional support. We would like to express our gratitude to them and toast to wonderful encounters in the future! And to everyone who chases their dreams. I would be happy if this song could give someone a little push.

[SIRUP comment]

Friends who live together don’t always have to be by your side, and they don’t have to walk the same path. That’s why we sometimes share what we’ve gained through our respective journeys, and by doing so, we can create excitement together that allows us to do more interesting things.
This is a song I made with such friends.
Music is something you don’t have to stop, and the same goes for the people who listen to it. It would be great if I could share this with everyone on the never-ending climb of pure music with no competition or comparison!
