A milestone track that marks their 10th single release in Japan.
It’s a bright, encouraging dance tune with a wonderful message and performance that makes you feel grateful to TWICE for continuing their activities unchanged.
The mood evokes a rainbow after the rain.
As their career has progressed, they’ve become more and more refined, but this song also carries the spirited energy of their early days, lifting your mood.
TWICE is the best—no matter how many years go by!
PaletteIU

Among IU’s many hit songs, this one stands out as especially wonderful.
IU herself wrote the lyrics and composed the music, packing the moments of her 25-year-old self tightly into it.
The track also boasts a luxurious feature from BIGBANG’s G-DRAGON.
IU’s soothing vocals and G-DRAGON’s warm, effortlessly relaxed voice blend gently together.
Japanese DJ tofubeats, active across various scenes, also selected it as one of his Top 5 songs of the first half of 2017 on the music program “Kanjam.”
Step BackGOT the beat

GOT the beat is the first theme-based project unit formed from female artists under SM Entertainment.
It’s essentially the female counterpart to SuperM—which made waves as the “Avengers of K-pop”—and this group also sparked huge buzz.
For longtime followers and many K-pop fans, seeing a lineup like this is the kind of dream-team moment that leaves you speechless.
Their debut track “Step Back,” with its extremely assertive lyrics, stirred both praise and criticism—so what was the intention behind it, really…? In any case, the members’ razor-sharp dance performances and vocal work are absolutely outstanding!
MR.TAXIGirls’ Generation

The queens of K-POP, Girls’ Generation, and their hit song.
It’s a slightly older track, but isn’t it one that even people who don’t know much about K-POP are familiar with? The dance performed by Girls’ Generation members dressed like yellow taxi drivers is addictive.
The album it’s included on features production by Teddy Riley and many other renowned composers.
XOXZive

IVE is an extraordinary, boundary-defying girl group whose momentum since debut shows no signs of slowing.
The title track of their EP “IVE SECRET,” released in August 2025, explodes with cool, mysterious allure.
A hip-hop track where hefty 808 bass is sliced by razor-sharp brass, it pulls listeners straight into its world.
The lyrics, which member Wonyoung participated in writing, center on the theme of “secret signals” shared only between those who are close.
Behind a confident, cool exterior, they paint a sweet and enigmatic message that promises clandestine rendezvous in dreams.
The slightly dangerous, dominant worldview that lures you into a dream realm unbound by reality is simply irresistible.
It’s a highly addictive number you’ll want to sink into during the stillness of the night.
