A double name distribution single "Wine" by up-and-coming SSW " MAIKI ' and rapper ' SOTA" is released on 2024/11/13 from "Midweeks", an emerging label from Kumamoto, Japan.

This song is a love song completed by the first session between MAIKI and SOTA, who are allies.

MAIKI sings wistfully from a woman's perspective about unfulfilled love, unrequited love, and the desire to win someone over.
SOTA sings about escaping reality, lost love, and regrets from a man's perspective.

The piano and electric guitar on this slow beat tugs at the heartstrings, and the interplay between the two gives the song a mature and sexy feel.
