A masterpiece created by representative Korean and Japanese producers. The song ‘Almond Chocolate’ that Ailrit released in Japan earlier this year and became a hot topic is coming out in a ‘Korean version’ due to fan requests.

‘Almond Chocolate’ was co-composed by Big Hit Music‘s representative producer Pdogg and Nakajin, a member of the popular Japanese group Sekai no Owari (世界の終わり).

According to the agency Belift Lab, the Korean version of ‘Almond Chocolate’ will be released simultaneously through various popular music platforms at 6 p.m. on the 10th. The song, which is also the theme song for the Japanese film ‘I Don’t Like You Just By Your Face’, was released on Valentine‘s Day and received great responses, such as topping the ‘Spotify Japan Daily Rising Chart and AWA Music Real-Time Rising Chart’.

‘Almond Chocolate’ has created a buzz among listeners who say ‘It needs to be re-released in Korea’, as the ‘newtro sensibility’ of the song and Ailitt’s true colors as a vocalist are newly highlighted.

Meanwhile, the song is expected to establish Ailitt, who is approaching her ‘first debut anniversary’, as the holders of ‘representative season songs’ that connect both Korea and Japan.

Belift Lab said, “Following the original Japanese song, the Korean version will also allow fans to feel Ailit‘s uniquely lovely charm,” and hoped it would be a special gift to the global fandom, “GLLIT.”
