A city pop-style dance number with a nostalgic sound reminiscent of a summer twilight, it’s effortlessly pleasant to the ear.
This piece was released in August of the same year by KiliKiii, a group that debuted in March 2025, and their experimental musicality has been drawing attention.
The track fuses city pop and retro synth-pop in a contemporary way.
Its lyrics portray dancing alone not as a symbol of loneliness, but as a positive act that celebrates freedom and the precious bonds with friends—there’s something quietly empowering about that.
It feels like the perfect song for nights when you want to bask in summer memories or when you’re in a slightly sentimental mood.

After a member reshuffle in 2025, they kicked off their “Season 2,” and this is the title track from their mini-album PRISM EP.01, released that August.
It’s a synth-funk track with retro synths and a buoyant groove that feels great—so fresh and invigorating! The song carries a hopeful message that mirrors the group’s own story: taking a dream once tucked away deep inside, pulling it out again, kicking away hesitation, and stepping forward anew.
