People who are good at singing have gathered together.

According to the music production company Donuts Culture, Ken from VIXX, Youngjae from GOT7, Hui from PENTAGON, and Choi Sangyeop from Lucy will remake the hit song ‘Old Song’ and release it on various music sites on the 29th.

The first song selected for the global remake project is the emotional ballad ‘Old Song’ by Standing Egg, a leader in acoustic indie music.

‘Old Song’, which has been consistently loved by artists and fans of various genres for its warm melody and emotional lyrics, once again received much love from the public last year when a remake version was released by Huh Gak, Lim Han-byeol, Lee Moo-jin, Lee Jin-seong(Monday Kiz), Kim Hee-jae, and #Hello through SBS music entertainment show ‘The Listen: Time With You’.

This ‘Old Song’ global project is opened by the four members who are the main vocalists within the group.

VIXX’s main vocalist KEN, who captivates your ears with his refreshing yet appealing tone, GOT7’s main vocalist YOUNGJAE, who has a soft and sensual voice, PENTAGON’s main vocalist HUI, who sings with a sweet voice and delicate emotion, and even band LUCY’s main vocalist Choi Sangyeop, who has a powerful vocal range and unique voice - these unique vocals come together in harmony to present an expanded musical sensibility.

‘Old Song’, reinterpreted with the voices of the four members, completely preserves the original song’s lyrical melody, while creating synergy with a splendid J - POP style arrangement.In particular, the intro that starts with a strong guitar sound and the strings that develop dramatically as it flows to the latter half are impressive.’Old Song’ will be remade globally starting in Korea and collaborating with artists from various countries in the future.

Along with the release of the song, a cinematic music video will also be released.

Filmed against the backdrop of the simple yet beautiful scenery of Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, the music video for “Old Song” depicts moments of hazy and wistful love that harmonize with the song’s lyrics, going back and forth between the past and present, including moments when a man and a woman sit side by side on a bench and share a single earphone, the road they ride together on, the feeling of their body temperature when they lean against each other’s shoulders and fall asleep due to drowsiness, memories of walking while holding hands, and even the moment of a chance reunion on the street as time passes.

Additionally, a music video for the collaboration version of ‘Old Song’ and the movie ‘366 Days’ will also be released simultaneously.

Directed by Takehiko Shinjo, the director of Japan’s representative romance film “But, I Love You,” and starring popular actors Eiji Akaso and Moka Kamishiraishi, this film went on to top the box office after its release in Japan, thanks to word-of-mouth.The heartbreaking love story of the two main characters who have a fateful love while traveling between Okinawa and Tokyo, and the beautiful visuals harmoniously blend with the lyrics and melody of “Old Song,” creating synergy.
