The singer PAUL KIM attacks the Japanese music market with a fresh sensitivity.
PAUL KIM releases the double single “ZOMBIE LOVES MATCHA” on June 10 at midnight in Japan and captivates music fans once again. After receiving ardent spotlights locally last month through the pre-released song “っちゃめっちゃ?いたい(짜 진짜 보고 싶어)”, he precisely targets the Japanese market with the finalized double single.
The title song “Zombie loves matcha” is a work that started from a unique imagination. The setup of a zombie who goes looking for matcha is impressive. On top of an adorable melody and a playful rhythm, the characteristic storytelling of PAUL KIM has been added, increasing the pleasure of listening.
PAUL KIM presented: “Rather than an ordinary story, I wanted to have a slightly more fun imagination. Matcha does not mean simple caffeine, but my own treasure”, and “The content and the rhythm of the music are also cute and adorable, so it is a song that fits well with summer”.
It is all the more interesting that it is a co-story that follows the pre-released song, and PAUL KIM directly wrote the lyrics for these two songs. Particularly, the “Ginza Line” that appears in the song melted the memories of the time when he did a part-time job in Tokyo in the past. It is a subject from a true memory where he had gone to buy matcha in a department store in Ginza at the request of his mother.
The also included song “っちゃめっちゃ?いたい” is a song that contains the excitement of the way to go meet the loved person as soon as waking up in the morning. It received the favors of local fans by depicting in an adorable way a minor daily life, like the greeting with a friend crossed in the street or a dog riding a bicycle.
