"Perfect Day" by Hibikilla paints a picture of the perfect midsummer day. The deep voice calmly fires off sweet and melancholic scenes, creating an addictive quality.
ONODUB's track production took place not in a studio, but using a club's sound system. The cool fusion dancehall sound, featuring log drums reminiscent of amapiano, complements Hibikilla's lyrics. The result is an immersive summer tune that captures the essence.
The song's ability to capture fleeting moments of joy and nostalgia demonstrates the artists' masterful craft in both lyricism and production. "Perfect Day" stands as a testament to Hibikilla and ONODUB's evolving artistry within the dancehall genre.

Hibikilla is a Japanese reggae/dancehall artist from Hokkaido, Japan. Influenced by Japanese DeeJay styles like Papa-B and Miki-Dozan, as well as the formidable performance of Bounty Killer and Capleton, he embarked on his music career. In 2004, he dropped "Hyaku-Retsu-Ken," (Fist of North Star) which quickly became a sound clash scene anthem and soared to the top spot on the 7-inch single charts. From 2006 to 2009, he consistently released four albums: "No Problem," "Noukou-Minzoku" (Intense Ethnicity), "LIFE," and "BE FREE." In 2011, his fourth album, "FREEDOM_BLUES," featuring the track "Saiaku-No-Jitai" (The Worst Situation) which was praised as a new masterpiece of Japanese rebel music, earned him the Best Album Award from Music Magazine, establishing his influence in the Y2K scene. Despite a hiatus from his career due to children-care responsibilities, he made a remarkable return to the scene. In 2020, he reached the top spot on the iTunes Store reggae charts with "Kono-Sekai feat. Dabo"(In this world) and further claimed the title of the most-streamed track in the world in the reggae category on the web3 music platform Audius with "Wha Gwaan Midnight feat. Tach-B" Now, in November 2023, He has released his new full album, "KillerTune." It's clear that Hibikilla has achieved a complete comeback, and his future endeavors are something to keep a close eye on.
