It’s included on their fourth single, “Missing.” The lyrics link the feeling of inexplicable emptiness despite being fulfilled with the melancholy of autumn that makes one prone to sentimentality.

It’s a track with a strong alternative rock flavor.

It’s included on the 2018 single “Genki Ippai.” In true Yaba-T style, it introduces animals in a deliberately “sloppy” way over a rock-tinged track.

The song is sprinkled with Yaba-T’s sense of humor, and somehow, by the latter half, it starts to sound like a genuinely good tune.

Back then I only knew songs like Genie and Gee, but hearing this track made me realize I had become a full-fledged Girls’ Generation fan.

This is the lead track from their third album, “Revolutionary.” While keeping a strong sense of speed, it skillfully plays with dynamics—like the held beat on the first count—resulting in a sharp, punchy sound.

In the music video, true to the lyrics, light shines on them as if the morning sun is coloring their world throughout the entire piece.
