Vivi, surprise release of winter sentimental song… double single ‘To Happiness’ released [DA:Today]

BIBI surprises with winter sentimental song… Release of double single ‘To Happiness’ [DA:Today] Singer BIBI will be releasing a new double single ‘To Happiness’ today (20th). It is a piece of the new universe designed by BIBI, and her first new song in three months since ‘DERRE’ released in November of last year. In this double single, BIBI let out all her strength and focused on warm sentimentality. The title song ‘To Happiness’ is a song filled with hopes that winter will pass and spring will come. The soft acoustic guitar sound and BIBI‘s warm, humming vocals are impressive. Another included track, ‘Winter’, conveys a similar yet strangely different feeling. If ‘To Happiness’ sang of hope while waiting for spring, ‘Winter’ depicts the heart of facing winter from a more cynical perspective. Like the double singles released so far, this one is composed of two themes that depict the different emotions and perspectives of EVE and EVE-1, the story of cloned humans set by Vivi. Vivi also
