Singer Ken, Jeon Sang-geun, and Bang Ye-dam encounter a new musical friend, Takaya Kawasaki from Japan, through the global project 'Lululala Friends with JAPAN'.
The music web entertainment 'Lululala Friends with JAPAN' features Ken, Jeon Sang-geun, Takaya Kawasaki, and Bang Ye-dam, depicting the process of Korean artists and foreign artists becoming friends through music beyond language barriers in a music healing reality.
Ken, the main vocalist of VIXX, who shows explosive singing ability and acts as a mood maker, Jeon Sang-geun, an emotional artisan who captivates everyone with his powerful voice and overwhelming live performances, and Bang Ye-dam, who catches ears with his unique groove-filled vocals and sweet tones, have confirmed their participation in 'Lululala Friends with JAPAN.' Meanwhile, Takaya Kawasaki, a representative emotional singer-songwriter from Japan, joins the 'friends' and visits Korea for the first time to embark on this journey with the three friends.
Takaya Kawasaki, a live performer who fills the stage with one guitar and a warm tone, is an artist loved by many listeners for his emotional storytelling about everyday life and love. His hit '魔法の絨 (Magic Carpet),' which gained attention on TikTok, has recorded 100 million streams on Spotify and over 100 million views on the music video, along with representative songs such as '君ののキミノウタ (Your Song for You)' and 'サクラウサギ (Cherry Blossom Rabbit),' also beloved by domestic music fans.
Having set foot in Korea for the first time through 'Lululala Friends with JAPAN,' the four friends Ken, Jeon Sang-geun, Bang Ye-dam, and Takaya Kawasaki explore hot spots around Seoul, enjoying a variety of experiences including eating samgyeopsal, taking four-cut photographs showcasing their MZ power, experiencing fortune-telling, mini live performances set against the backdrop of the Han River's night view, surprise meetings with fans, and emotional busking.
The highlight is their busking performance. Ken, who has recently fallen for the rock genre, Jeon Sang-geun, the ballad master, Bang Ye-dam, optimized for pop, and Takaya Kawasaki, a representative of acoustic emotions, are expected to showcase their chemistry, having presented different music and charms.
The solo songs presented by the four members through their busking performance will also be released on music sites. The first to be released is Bang Ye-dam, who will unveil his new song 'A to Z' at 6 p.m. on the 7th. 'A to Z' expresses the feelings of wanting to know everything about a loved one, featuring a rhythmic acoustic guitar as the main, along with Bang Ye-dam's unique warm tone.
Following this, Ken's remake new song 'Again, That Spring Day' will be released at 6 p.m. on the 14th. 'Again, That Spring Day' is a new interpretation of Takaya Kawasaki's 'サクラウサギ (Cherry Blossom Rabbit)' with Ken's soft appeal. Ken delicately expresses the longing for a shy first love that he couldn't reach during his school days.
On the 21st at 6 p.m., Takaya Kawasaki will take over with his remake new song 'Every day, Every Moment (Takaya Kawasaki Ver.).' 'Every day, Every Moment' is a reinterpretation of Paul Kim's classic song 'Every day, Every Moment' with Takaya Kawasaki's warm emotions and his genuine voice, featuring an introduction with gentle acoustic guitar and an arrangement that becomes richer and deeper with string lines as the song progresses, dramatically depicting the dazzling moments of love.
Lastly, on the 28th at 6 p.m., Jeon Sang-geun's remake new song 'Was I at Ease That Day?' will be revealed. This reinterpretation of Lee Ye-jun's beloved ballad, which evoked empathy with its lyrics, 'Was I at Ease That Day?' was reborn in the voice of a male narrator, offering a different charm from the original song.
