Singer-songwriter RUNG HYANG, known for his collaborations with TENDRE, SIRUP, Taichi Mukai, and claquepot, will release his new single "Gradation" on Wednesday, April 10th.

"Gradation" is a song based on the story of a married couple, artist Lee Izumida, who was the second guest of <OTOGRAPHY>, and her husband, hairdresser Kanata Serada. As the reflected artwork symbolizes, each person's lives are layered on top of each other, depicting the beauty of the daily activities of caring for each other. RUNG HYANG's gentle speaking voice, the piano, and Yusuke Onishi's guitar playing blend together like a soft gradation, creating a love song like a spring breeze that warmly wraps the listener's heart.
