LEGITINI6rank/position

INI | ’LEGIT’ Official MV

INI is an idol group formed on the audition program PRODUCE 101 JAPAN SEASON2.

Their style, which strikingly seems to draw directly from the musicality of K-pop—a recent trend—has won them popularity through high-level performances.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for its striking high notes is LEGIT.

Centered on hip-hop, it primarily stays in the low to mid-high range, but in the latter half it features high parts that use mixed voice.
