Cosmetic Mood / Cosmetic Dub

A new spring release from Japan's lovers rock label, " It's a Romance Production."

This special collaboration single brings together Tokyo-based city pop reggae singer Natsu Summer and Osaka-based lovers rock band Bagus!. With Natsu Summer rooted in city pop reggae and Bagus! in lovers rock, the two artists merge their distinct musical styles to create a track that is both cool and rich in depth.

The most luxurious cosmetic is romance.

Inspired by this striking concept, the song carries a breezy and nostalgic feel, reminiscent of a classic cosmetic commercial. A tight and tough reggae/lovers rock rhythm blends seamlessly with a sophisticated pop sensibility, resulting in a perfectly balanced sound where contrasting elements enhance one another. With its memorable melody and charming, soft vocals, the track radiates a unique glow that goes far beyond a simple "CM-style" tune.

The B-side features "Cosmetic Dub," a mellow and atmospheric dub mix by Ruv Bytes. While preserving the romantic mood of the original, skillful drop-outs, delay, and reverb create a spacious soundscape that reveals a different side of the track. In line with the "cosmetic" concept, the dub version can be seen as a form of sonic "make-up," offering a transformed listening experience.

A perfect release for the spring season, where the sweetness of lovers rock meets the refined touch of Japanese pop.
