kiwa will release a new single 'Tingling In The Rain' .

This song was written, composed, and sung by kiwa based on an idea played by guitarist YH on his guitar. kiwa also sampled the sounds of falling water drops herself, showing her commitment to the world of rain. Mixing and mastering was done by Takamaru MIX, and the jacket was designed by Pon.

The lyrics describe the feelings of a man who spends his nights alone in agony, feeling a desire for control and sexual urges toward the woman of his dreams who has a dazzling smile. He selfishly wishes to be accepted by her to boost his self-esteem and heal his own loneliness, even though his impulsive and self-indulgent behavior would deeply hurt her.
The discrepancy between the too-serious theme and the pop tune is said to express his childish and eerie psychology, which is unable to take his own culpability seriously no matter how long it takes.

An image video of the song can be seen on the kiwa Official YouTube Channel.
