This song was released in May 2020, a time when the importance of handwashing was emphasized during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Set over a hip-hop-style beat, the languid, rap-like delivery of the lyrics gives it a distinctly stylish vibe.

The song carries a positive message: while maintaining the physical distance recommended during the pandemic, let’s keep our hearts close.

It might refresh your mood when you feel like adding a splash of color to a monotonous day.

Rubik LoveJenīhai

This track is a pop number that portrays a frustrating, unrequited love, included on the second album “Jenny Star,” released in September 2021.

With a theme of a relationship that never quite aligns—like a Rubik’s Cube—it sings of missed connections, inner conflict, and a longing that refuses to give up.

The message, which gently embraces such complex emotions, becomes deeply relatable.

Over a lively groove, the interwoven ensemble of guitar and dazzling piano deftly expresses the wavering of a love that’s anything but straightforward.

It’s a song that will resonate with anyone struggling through a complicated romance.

Super the worst.Jenīhai

This is the song that was created as the theme for the drama “Iciko Is Completely Cornered and Has No Choice but to Become a Charisma.” Responding to producer MEGUMI’s request for a punk style, Enon Kawatani himself has said that he wrote the track using power chords for the first time in a while.

With that background, it’s said to be the most intense sound in the band’s history.

The song depicts a defiant cry from the soul and a will to turn the worst situation into the best future—a spirit of retaliation that gives courage to listeners.

Released in November 2022, it was also included on the album “Jenny Classic.” It’s a fight song for when you want to prove someone wrong or need the energy to take that one last step.
