It is said that when people first see a foreign language, they perceive it as a picture. If we apply this to the process of listening to foreign music, we can see that vocal utterances are first recognized through sound design rather than language. In this context, Japanese singer-songwriter SIRUP and Zion.T’s joint single “CHEESE CAKE” sounds a little more interesting.

“CHEESE CAKE” presents R&B with a pop composition. The unique Japanese pronunciation combines with the familiar production to create a fresh feeling. A.G.O.’s production, which strikes a good balance between Korean and Japanese pop music, is also noteworthy. After SIRUP’s flawless performance, Zion.T blurts out Korean in the middle, and it continues without any discomfort. Looking at this, I think there is a common sentiment shared between Korea and Japan.

By the way, how was your lunch? If you’re still a little hungry, how about trying “CHEESE CAKE” for dessert today?
