The lyrics, which calmly gaze at the self lingering between loneliness and emptiness, and the serene, spacious sound design intimately resonate with the listener’s inner world.

Her digital single released in January 2026, “Wimarma Saga,” packs a powerful punch with a high-speed beat and full-on denpa-song energy produced by the music team IOSYS, leaving a strong impression with its call-and-response.

It unfolds with a unique setup where two versions of Ui—“9-year-old Ui” and “16-year-old Ui”—face off, pulling listeners into a whirlwind of chaos with its addictive hooks.

With cutting-edge beats and the two vocalists’ voices colliding vividly, it’s an uplifting tune perfect for those decisive, make-or-break moments.

He was directly involved in writing and composing, depicting the light and shadow—and the inescapable fate—of being an idol through the keyword “mask.” The balance between the mysterious sound lurking beneath the glamour and his cool vocals is exquisite.
