The emotional track, catchy melody that makes you want to hum, and comfortable singing voice are impressive.

Please pay attention to the lyrics, which are positive and have a strong message.
Everyone who listens to this song should become the main character.

●1999s (Once Nine) Profile
A two-piece unit consisting of shinji (left photo) and taichi (right photo) who are from and live in Osaka.
It is characterized by a nostalgic sound and catchy melody while retaining the atmosphere of modern city pop, and the two overlapping voices are attractive.
“You can tell what he’s thinking by looking at his facial expressions.”
The two met back in 1999. They were born in the same hospital, grew up in the same town, and spent their teenage years in the same way.
However, there was still no music there.
When he was in college, the world was engulfed by the corona virus, and Shinji was feeling bored every day, so he developed a strong interest in music.
That heat was inevitably transmitted to taichi.
Since then, he has devoted himself to music almost every day, and formed “Cream Candy” in June 2021.
The three songs “walking,” “good by,” and “city boy,” which were released with the desire to “disseminate them to the world,” quickly exceeded 10,000 views on YouTube.
After a year of activities, they changed their name to “1999s” in June 2022 and made a new start with the release of their single “DANCING WAR”.
The basic form of 1999s songs is that shinji creates the basic tracks and taichi writes the lyrics. After that, the two of them repeated trial and error to give it shape.
Shinji says. “All we did was play sports. We didn’t have anyone to rely on for music. So we had to do everything ourselves.”
taichi says. “No matter how old you get, it’s important that you still think this song is cool.”
The two boys who were raised on J-Pop became adults, encountered various music, were inspired by it, and chose music as a way to express themselves.
This is the story of the beginning of 1999s, and the feelings put into the song.
They come into contact with entertainment every day, hone their sensibilities, and deliver what they have absorbed in the form of two people.
Above all, by enjoying music freely, we aim to make them and their works widely loved, transcending any boundaries.

Her husky voice, which appears and disappears slightly, distinguishes between a gentle tone that is comfortable to listen to, and a thick, core tone that feels somewhat rough. Her falsetto, which gets stronger as the range goes up, is attractive and touches the listener’s emotions.
When he was a teenager, he was influenced by HIPHOP culture and black music, but in his 20s, he started listening to music regardless of genre, and developed a unique musical style that was unfettered by anything.
