Naisho Dayo/Best Friend

[Machine Translation] Taiwan's Wooly releases a new 7-inch version of his new generation Shibuya-kei album! Wooly, a Taiwanese singer-songwriter with a deep love for Japanese culture, started his solo career in 2022, recording about 63,000 monthly listeners with his clear voice and sensitive expression that captures the subtleties of emotion. He also performs live mainly in Tokyo and has been attracting attention in the Shibuya-kei/city pop scene. This 7-inch release features a new song, "Don't Tell Me," written by Kunimonde Takiguchi (RYUSENKEI), and a cover of SATELLITE LOVERS' "Best Friend," a song that is gaining recognition overseas as well. The newly written song delicately depicts the sadness of a girl's heart, and her charm stands out in the sophisticated arrangement. The cover track was produced by yopeco of sucola, and the light groove and mellow charm of the original song are utilized while updating it with a modern sound. Nostalgia and freshness coexist in this new generation of Shibuya-kei from Taiwan.
