A single by the girl rap group "MIC RAW RUGA," produced by E TICKET PRODUCTION. E TICKET PRODUCTION has produced and provided music for artists including KMNZ, RINNEEE (Rinne Yoshida), Nagi Nemoto (ex. Dempagumi.inc), Dekami-chan, and early Rhymeberry.

The new single "HIKARI" is a downtempo, melodic rap track that showcases a new side of MIC RAW RUGA. While the group has primarily focused on upbeat rap tunes up until now, this track marks a new frontier for them as they take on a song that truly highlights the melody.

The theme is the bittersweet longing to chase memories of a love that has passed. In the lyrics, "love" is replaced with the word "light," depicting feelings that refuse to fade even after loss and a lingering attachment to time that will never return, all through vivid, evocative imagery.

Although it's a rap track, the vocals-which place a strong emphasis on melody-significantly expand MIC RAW RUGA's range of expression. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "May the light reach you," conveys a sense of mourning for what has been lost while also evoking a prayer for the rebirth that lies ahead.

Unlike his usual intense or party-oriented sounds, "HIKARI" possesses a quiet passion. It is a poignant yet beautiful track that showcases a new side of MIC RAW RUGA.

As with the previous album, mastering was handled by Kan Inoue of WONK, while mixing was handled by yutori and Takuro Korenaga, who has mixed tracks for artists such as BILLY BOO, Shuka Saito, Rin Kurusu, and Tokyo Girls' Style.
