Som hibana

hibana captures two contrasting kinds of warmth: the sudden spark of a firework and the quiet comfort of a cup of coffee. Som uses these different temperatures as a metaphor for love, the rush of emotion that ignites in an instant, and the hope that something warm and lasting will remain long after the initial spark fades.

Like summer fireworks that flare brightly before disappearing into the night, the song portrays the fleeting excitement of falling for someone, while holding onto a more intimate wish that even after the intensity settles, a gentle warmth between two people can remain.

Built around a jazzy Lo Fi track and Som's soft, intimate vocals, hibana blends the smooth atmosphere of K R&B with the delicate melodic sensibility and emotional nuance distinctive to Japanese pop. Rather than relying on dramatic expression, the song finds its strength in subtlety, capturing small shifts in emotion through melody, texture, and understated storytelling.

With its cross cultural blend of contemporary Asian R&B and distinctly Japanese pop songwriting, hibana offers an intimate sound that feels both globally familiar and uniquely J POP. A perfect soundtrack for the final days of summer, quiet nights, and moments spent alone with your thoughts.

hibana will be released worldwide on August 28, 2026.
