Title: Sweet and Salty
Artist: SHIMPEI
Genre: Lo-fi Hip-Hop / Japanese Indie Rap / Chill Pop

"Sweet and Salty" is a poetic, lo-fi-infused rap track by Japanese artist SHIMPEI. The song explores human emotions through the metaphor of flavors-sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty-blending them into a lyrical and sonic canvas. With a smooth yet expressive flow, SHIMPEI paints a story of emotional contradictions: distance and connection, chance encounters and deep bonds.
The beat is mellow and nostalgic, perfect for chill-out moments, summer nights, or quiet drives. SHIMPEI's lyrics are deeply personal, with lines like "Ichigoitie no Cake ni Ichigo wo Topping" (Topping a once-in-a-lifetime cake with strawberries)" adding depth and warmth.
Fans of artists like SIRUP, kZm, or lo-fi/chillhop compilations will feel at home here. This track is a perfect fit for chill, introspective playlists and audiences seeking lyrical authenticity.
