RIZZ (Japanese Ver.)
Chroma Drift (Japanese Ver.)














While the layout of the album is pretty simple, it's still cute. The booklet while short and sweet, really fits with the concept.
The album itself is pure PLAVE.

I love the melody for かくれんぼ (Hide and Seek). While it has that typical PLAVE sound, it fits perfectly with them singing in Japanese. I love their vocals and raps as they blend perfectly with the melody.

I absolutely love RIZZ, so obviously I love RIZZ (Japanese Ver.). While when I first listened to it, it threw me off because I'm used to the Korean, the Japanese fits and blends perfectly with this track.

I don't think I'll get over how much I love Chroma Drift, so it's obvious I'd love Chroma Drift (Japanese Ver.). I love how different this song sounds, and while I'm used to the Korean, the Japanese fits perfectly. I love their voices in this song.

I think this was the perfect Japanese debut, and I love that we've got a Korean release of Hide and Seek.
I absolutely adore each of their releases, and they've recently revealed new hairstyles for each of the members during their latest tour.
I can't wait to see what they bring us next, and part of me hopes we get a new Christmas song this year.
