Chim Chap, a four-piece mix band from Shiga, will release their first single “Sequins” exclusively on August 7th. Having won the grand prize at ESP BAND CONTEST 2023 and Teen White Paper 2024, Chim Chap has steadily built up a track record and gained acclaim for their live performances. This is their long-awaited single release.
“Sequins” is a song that reminds me of the theme song of a trendy summer drama with its 80’s city pop sound and light and refreshing beat. Vocalist Jesse sings the lyrical and gentle lyrics with his sweet and expansive voice, and the rhythmic band ensemble matches it well, making it a pleasant song to listen to and accepted by people of all ages and genders.
This is a must-listen love song for the summer of 2024.
Comment from Vo. & Gt. Jesse
As soon as you realize that summer is just around the corner, love suddenly strikes.
Just hearing that girl’s name makes me break out into a cold sweat.
I replay in my head the few words that I exchanged after mustering up all my courage.
Even though I had finally met him in my dream, I woke up at the perfect moment because of the heat.
…And then, in an instant, you can play it.
I felt stupid for being so sparkly, but I was certainly sparkling.
Before I knew it, they were trying to sparkle again.
That’s it. When love comes that makes you forget the heat, that’s the signal to sing a “love song”!
