Kep1er (Choi Yujin, Xiaoting, Mashiro, Kim Chaehyun, Kim Dayeon, Hikaru, Huening Bahiyyih, Seo Young-eun, and Kang Yeseo) is releasing their second Japanese single 'FLY-BY' today (15th).
'FLY-BY' is a metaphorical __EXPRESSION__ of the desire to reach a loved one, meaning an 'approach flight' to reach a goal.
With their first single 'FLY-UP' soaring high, Kep1er wants to get closer to their fans and be loved, adding a special touch to their new release.
The title track is an uptempo dance song with a funky disco rhythm called 'I do! Do you?', filled with Kep1er's refreshing and sweet energy.
The story conveys the girls' innocent feelings and excitement towards their love interests, as well as the subtle emotions of their growing hearts.
In addition to the title track, this single includes a total of five songs: the Japanese original song 'tOgether fOrever', a Japanese version remix of the title track 'WA DA DA' from their debut album 'FIRST IMPACT' released in January last year, a Japanese version of the track 'MVSK', and a Japanese version of the title track 'We Fresh' from their third Korean mini-album 'TROUBLESHOOTER' released in October last year.
Kep1er premiered their title track 'I do! Do you?' performance on Japan's representative music broadcast program TBS 'CDTV Live! Live!' on March 6th, followed by appearances on TV Asahi's 'Music Station' on the 10th and NHK's 'Venue101' on the 11th, attracting enthusiastic responses from local fans.
Not only did they deliver energy and liveliness with their rich chanting, but they also showcased a strong addictive quality with their point choreography, expressing the ambiguous and subtle feelings of a girl through cute hand gestures, just like the song title and lyrics.
Moreover, Kep1er proved their influence by winning 'Best 3 New Artist - Asia Division' and 'Song of the Year by Streaming - Asia Division' at the '37th Japan Golden Disc Awards' ahead of their single release.
In May, they will continue their popularity by holding their first arena tour in Japan, 'Kep1er JAPAN CONCERT TOUR 2023'.
