The 5th EP, released during the Lunar New Year, presents a unique take on C-Pop as an antithesis to "pop songs with relatable lyrics." It deliberately excludes the meaning of words, instead focusing on the playful sounds of pronunciation, employing Hanamogera (gibberish) Chinese as its medium.
Rooted in a concept of a "virtual Asia," the EP reinterprets Hanamogera (gibberish), a playful nonsense language popularized by Akira Sakata and Kazuyoshi Morita, through the lens of a third-generation follower of Yosuke Yamashita's musical lineage.
Featuring Yo Irie and rapper Naoya Koike, the EP pairs nostalgic simplicity in its tracks with an experimental element: "ordinary people singing Hanamogera (gibberish) in local accents." For this, Ning Jiayu from Liaoning Province, an individual with no prior musical experience, performs a duet, adding an authentic yet unconventional layer to the work.
