Three Fresh Tracks: Girl Band Debut, Solo Heat, And A New Idol Wave

Snow in the forecast, bass in the bloodstream. We kick things off with a little storm prep and then slide straight into three new releases that light up different corners of the pop universe: a girl band debut with real instruments and real restraint, a solo star leaning into neon funk, and a multinational rookie squad ringing the alarm with swagger.

First, LATENCY’s “It Was Love” trades flash for feel. Five members play and sing, shaping a soft, mid-tempo band sound that grows from quiet reflection to gentle resolve. Clean guitars, steady percussion, and a tasteful piano-synth color create space for melodies that stick without shouting. By the time the guitar solo lifts around the midpoint, the song has earned its momentum—intimate, bittersweet, and clear-eyed.

Then Kento Nakajima flips the room with “XTC”. Think syncopated 80s synths, jazzy guitar licks, and a rhythm that snaps you into motion. Kenty’s vocal control is the secret weapon, gliding from sultry lows to sharp falsetto as the track dances between playful invitation and seductive tension. It’s a confident solo statement that blends disco shimmer with modern polish, perfect for late-night drives or living room dance breaks.

Finally, meet ALPHA DRIVE ONE and their adrenaline-spiked “FREAK ALARM.” The intro hums like a clock before exploding into 80s hip-hop charge—reverb bass, crisp drums, and a chorus that stretches like a siren. The lyrics double as a manifesto: they’re the “new alien,” inviting you to own your edge and step into the circle. It’s a debut with grit and charm, made to wake up your playlist.

If you want a soundtrack for the week—reflection, heat, and high-voltage confidence—this one’s for you. Listen, save your favorite moments, and tell us which chorus won your day.
