A single by the girl rap group "MIC RAW RUGA," produced by E TICKET PRODUCTION. E TICKET PRODUCTION has produced and provided music for artists including KMNZ, RINNEEE (Rinne Yoshida), Nagi Nemoto (ex. Dempagumi.inc), Dekami-chan, and early Rhymeberry.
"watch" is a cool, sharp electro-rap tune centered on the SNS era's values of "being seen/seeing." The track by E TICKET PRODUCTION is built with minimal beats reminiscent of old-school electro music and repetitive synth sounds, vividly highlighting the pressure of modern scrutiny and the girls' growing radiance within it.
The lyrics center on the "watching/being watched" structure repeated on social media. This eventually overlaps with the "watching/being watched" relationship between audience and artist during a live performance. From being the one who admires to becoming the admired. While encapsulating MIC RAW RUGA's own growth story, it depicts the theme of gazes that anyone living in the SNS era can relate to.
The hook, repeating the minimal phrase "See See See watch," burns itself intensely into the listener's mind while symbolizing the accumulation of gazes and the acceleration of the desire for validation. Furthermore, the latter half presents a reversal: "I used to say 'I want to be that girl,' but now I'm the one people say 'I want to be like that girl.'" This sharply captures the image of the modern artist.
"Watch" affirms their identity as a "presence to be seen" across both social media and live stages, while demonstrating their will to evolve atop a sound where coldness and fervor coexist. This track symbolizes MIC RAW RUGA's current position and their leap forward.
Continuing from the previous work, mastering was handled by WONK's Inoue Kan, while mixing was handled by Korenaga Takuro, who has mixed tracks for YUKI, Sayashi Riho, and Philosophy of Dance.
