KANG DANIEL will release a new Japanese single “WATERCOLOR” on Wednesday, announced the same day by his agency ARA.
The single includes a duet with emerging Japanese singer-songwriter Ai Tomioka, whose growing presence across Asia is attracting considerable attention, according to ARA.
“Watercolor” describes lingering traces of emotions that seep into the heart like paint on paper. Built on layers of soft acoustic guitars, the song blends KANG DANIEL’s low and whispered vocals with Ai Tomioka’s delicate voice, creating a subtle harmony reminiscent of watercolor tones spreading across a canvas.
KANG DANIEL participated in writing and composing the song alongside Ai Tomioka and producers Biblein and Park Jae Hee.
The single was introduced at KANG DANIEL’s recent fan meeting in Tokyo, where he presented it as a message of gratitude to his longtime supporters. Fans will be able to listen to “Watercolor” not only on Japanese streaming platforms but also on major Korean music sites starting this Wednesday.
KANG DANIEL debuted in 2017 after winning first place on the Kpop survival show “Produce 101” on Mnet. He and 10 other finalists formed the project group Wanna One, which disbanded in early 2019. KANG DANIEL debuted as a solo artist in July of the same year with songs such as “Touchin’” (2019), “2U” (2020), and “Paranoia” (2021).
