A song by Perfume, a three-member technopop unit from Hiroshima Prefecture produced by Yasutaka Nakata—also known for his work with his own band CAPSULE and producing female singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.

dissonanceKeyakizaka46

Keyakizaka46 'Discord'

This is the fourth single by the idol group Keyakizaka46, who embarked on a new beginning as Sakurazaka46 in 2020.

Riding on a hysteric synth sound, its message—akin to asking, no matter the situation you’re pushed into, you are who you are—pierced the hearts of many listeners.

Even amid the lyrics and dance performance that exude a powerful will, a catchy melody breathes through, and that precarious balance may be the secret to its popularity among elementary school girls as well.

It’s a rare message-driven song for an idol track, one that helps you realize what’s truly important in life.
