ナス and タマゴ
And the Magic of Love
Becoming Tortang Talong
Open fire, directly to the flame
It’s how you start the game
Never give up for what you aim
Just remember no pain no gain
Drop the purple dress
Slowly by caress
Sometime it will be a mess
There's no shame to confess
No worry everyone has their first time
Tortang Talong big long and wide
Deep inside the fire
Tortang Talong happiness ride
Purpleless desire
Tortang Talong
Tortang Talong
Tortang Talong
Open fire, directly to the flame
Fuego, Let’s go to start the game
Never give up for what you aim
No arriesga no gana, no pain no gain
One will never be enough for you
A couple is the start of everything
Forbidden tree can't take it back no more
My love is forever
Drop the purple dress
Slowly by caress
Sometime it will be a mess
There's no shame to confess
No worry everyone has first time
Tortang Talong big long and wide
Deep inside the fire
Tortang Talong happiness ride
Purpleless desire
Nana nana nananana (ナス)
Nana nana na nananana (タマゴ)
Nana nana nananana (Fuego, Fuego)
Nana nana na nanana
Drop the purple dress
Slowly by caress
Sometime it will be a mess
There's no shame to confess
No worry everyone has their first time
ナス タマゴ FUEGO LET’S GO
Tortang Talong big long and wide
Deep inside the fire
Tortang Talong happiness ride
Purpleless desire

Tortang Talong
NANGOKU BITS
They told you the first hit always makes you sweat. Palms clammy. Heart racing like a dembow loop. But you never really live until you get messy in the kitchen.
This is not just another perreo anthem. This reggaeton's freshest Filipino-Latino fusion, "Tortang Talong" arrives with a story we all know too well: that clumsy, glorious, unforgettable first time. The track is inspired by the experience of burning your first eggplant. Peeling charred skin with trembling fingers. Saying "screw it" when the egg slides off the plate and the oil pops like a snare hit. the thwack of fork-whisked eggs, the gasp when you flip too early. And realizing all the mess is part of the magic.
"Everyone remembers their first eggplant."
This is not just a song. It's your first scar. Your first bite. The first beat that made you move before you knew the steps.
Artist Profile
NANGOKU BITS
Bringing summer vibes to you wherever you are. Nangoku Bits is a Japan-based Reggaeton duo by Southeast Asians. Formed in Tokyo, Japan, in 2024, the duo is the brainchild of powerhouse couple, Indonesian-born music producer "Luthfi" and his Philippine-born wife "Ana", a creative alliance that fuses the technical precision of the Japanese music scene with the raw, sun-drenched heat of Southeast Asian tropics. Nangoku, Japanese for "tropical country", is a loving nod to their origins, while Bits represents the sonic fragments of culture, language, and rhythm they splice together to create their signature sound. What truly sets Nangoku Bits apart is their radical approach to language. While English serves as the global bridge for their hooks, the verses are a vibrant, rotating carnival of dialects. A romantic verse might slip into Spanish, a pre-chorus might erupt into Filipino, the bridge could drop into Indonesian, and an ad-lib might carry a hint of Portuguese, a tribute to the global diaspora of reggaeton's origins. This isn't just gimmickry; it is a reflection of their reality. Luthfi and Ana live in a multilingual household, and their music acts as a sonic passport, inviting listeners from Manila to Jakarta, Rio to Madrid, to find a familiar home in the rhythm. The result is a soundscape that feels simultaneously nostalgic and futuristic-a "global tropical" experience. Reggaeton is inherently music for the tropics, but Nangoku Bits posits a revolutionary idea: Summer is a state of mind. While most bands fade with the autumn leaves, Luthfi and Ana double down on their mission to deliver warmth year-round. Their catalog is designed as a sonic refuge. On a freezing December night in Shinjuku, or a rainy June afternoon in Roppongi, their tracks act as sonic heaters - evoking the sticky humidity of Bali, the golden sunsets of Boracay, and the electric street parties of São Paulo. They don't just make music for the beach; they make music that builds a beach wherever you are standing. Nangoku Bits is more than a music project; it is a cultural movement. In a world that often feels divided, they serve as a reminder that rhythm is a universal language and that warmth can transcends even geographical boundaries. With their debut material slated to drop in late 2024, this Southeast Asian duo is poised to become the soundtrack for those who refuse to let the winter win. Summer is calling, and Nangoku Bits has the answer.
