ILLIT Captures Hearts with Preview of Japanese Movie Theme Song

ILLIT has sparked excitement among global fans by releasing a preview of their new song, 'Almond Chocolate', for an upcoming Japanese movie. The group shared a video on TikTok featuring the members singing parts of the song during video calls, showcasing their charming visuals and excited expressions that perfectly match the song's theme of expressing a deep affection for someone special. The catchy melody is already winning hearts.

This track, a collaboration with Nakajin, leader of the Japanese band SEKAI NO OWARI, and producer Pdogg, known for hits like 'Spring Day' and 'Dynamite', was specially created for the movie 'I Don't Like You Just Because You're Handsome'. The film, based on a popular manga, tells the story of a girl who falls for a handsome senior, and has garnered massive support from women in their 20s and 30s, with over 2 million copies sold.

With ILLIT, a rising 'Z-generation icon', contributing the theme song, positive synergy is anticipated. The group's first Japanese original song is highly anticipated by local fans, especially given their impressive achievements in Japan even before their official debut. 'Almond Chocolate' is set to be released on February 14, perfectly timed for Valentine's Day, and is expected to be a seasonal hit, warming up the box office for the movie's release on March 7.
