やっぱりAgust Dのアルバム『D-DAY』、最高だね！特に「People Pt.2」はリズムもメロディーも耳から離れないし、本当に癖になる。これがトリロジーのフィナーレって信じられる？新しい視点と素晴らしいストーリーを提供してくれて、自分自身と向き合う勇気をくれるよ。一曲一曲違った雰囲気があって、一貫したスタイルとはまさにこういうことなんだな〜と思わせてくる。ただ、心掴む歌詞たちはどんなシチュエーションにも響いて、自分の生活とも繋げたりできちゃうから凄い。

This fusion mirrors the complexities of contemporary existence—joyful yet fraught.

The thoughtful collaboration in ‘People Pt.2’ featuring IU enriches the experience further—a true meeting of artistic minds illuminated under SUGA’s masterful guidance.
