ILLIT Captures Hearts with Preview of Japanese Film Theme Song 'Almond Chocolate'

ILLIT has unveiled a snippet of their new Japanese original song 'Almond Chocolate', setting the stage for their growing global fandom. Released on TikTok, the preview features the members singing the song over video calls, their expressions and visuals perfectly matching the track's sweet and heartfelt vibe. The song, crafted by Nakajin from SEKAI NO OWARI and hitmaker Pdogg, known for his work on 'Spring Day' and 'Dynamite', promises high quality and emotional depth.

'Almond Chocolate' is specially produced for the Japanese film 'I Don't Like You Just Because You're Handsome', based on a popular manga of the same name. The film, which tells the story of a girl who falls for a handsome senior, has already garnered massive support from women in their 20s, with manga sales surpassing 2 million copies. ILLIT's involvement as the theme song artist is expected to create a positive synergy, especially given their impressive achievements in Japan even before their official debut there.

The full song is set to release on February 14, making it a perfect Valentine's Day treat for fans worldwide. With the film's premiere on March 7, anticipation is building not only for the movie but also for ILLIT's contribution to its soundtrack.
