Japanese hip hop has a long and rich history, with artists who have been able to create a unique blend of Japanese and American hip hop cultures. Two such artists who have been making waves in the Japanese rap scene are ELIONE and NORIKIYO. Their latest collaboration, “One Wish,” is a testament to their skill and passion for the art form.
“One Wish” is a track that showcases the strengths of both artists. The beat is smooth and jazzy, providing the perfect backdrop for ELIONE and NORIKIYO’s flows. The lyrics touch on themes of hope, perseverance, and the power of friendship.
ELIONE kicks off the track with a verse that sets the tone for the song. He raps about his struggles and his determination to succeed, even in the face of adversity. He also talks about the importance of having people in his life who believe in him and support him.
NORIKIYO’s verse is more introspective. He raps about the lessons he has learned over the years and the mistakes he has made. He also talks about the importance of staying true to oneself and not letting others dictate one’s path in life.
“One Wish” is a great example of the talent and creativity that exists in the Japanese rap scene. ELIONE and NORIKIYO bring their own unique styles to the track, creating a song that is both catchy and meaningful. It’s definitely worth checking out for anyone who is a fan of hip hop or just appreciates good music. Check out the M/V below!
