"Even when we're apart, we're connected by one voice."
Whether in times of pain or joy, the first faces that come to mind are those of Nao and Mao.
Their latest single, "VOICE," is set in a world where the grown-up Melone members live in different places. It's an upbeat song that tells the story of twins bound by an invisible, strong bond.
As children, they spent 24/7 together. But now, as adults, they look up at different skies in the places they've chosen. Now that they can't see each other as often as before, their heartfelt "voices" become their most reliable guidepost.
A powerful beat carries encouragement to "the other self" fighting in a distant place. A song that gives you the courage to move forward, even while carrying sadness.
They are twin sisters, currently 13 years old. They choreograph and write their own lyrics, and aim to be active globally. We would like to introduce their latest release, "Hanako of the Toilet." Hanako is a famous yokai (spirit monster) in Japan. She was bullied, hid herself in the toilet, and died, becoming a yokai. She now hides in school toilets, and will suddenly appear to startle people. Not all Japanese monsters want to become monsters. There is a reason for their existence, and a sad story behind how they became monsters. Melone has her own thoughts on social issues such as bullying and school absenteeism, and this song was written with the hope of bringing awareness to everyone at school through its heartbreaking message conveyed through Hanako's sad feelings and regrets.
