Nen-Nen-Korori (feat. 100SDH1, 100DEW & SPLASH100)

GENKIZ releases new song "Nennen Korori."
This unique piece, inspired by a Japanese nursery rhyme, fuses the modern Tokyo street music with the tension of UK Drill.
The title "Nennen Korori" is a Japanese nursery rhyme that has long been sung as a lullaby. Contrary to its gentle sound, this work sharply captures emotions such as anxiety, anger, and resignation, reconstructing them as realistic mental landscapes of modern life.
While the beat is based on UK Drill, it features Japanese-style pauses and a low, subdued sound design. The cold, inorganic soundscape is permeated with uniquely Japanese "pauses" and "shadows."
GENKIZ's lyrics calmly but surely pierce the discomfort lurking in everyday life and repressed emotions.
This work is more than just a mix of genres; it is also a song that embodies the question, "What kind of culture should we leave to our children?" The intersection of words passed down from the past and the atmosphere of Tokyo in this moment presents a new "form of Japanese rap."
GENKIZ's "Nennen Korori" quietly but surely sinks into the depths of the listener.

This is not a lullaby.
It's a song to help you stay awake and face reality.
