ILLIT Makes Their Mark: Debuts First Movie OST for Japanese Film

ILLIT is stepping into the cinematic world with their first-ever movie original soundtrack (OST) for the Japanese film 'I Don't Like You Just Because You're Handsome'. The track, titled 'Almond Chocolate', is set to release on February 14, ahead of the movie's premiere on March 7. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for the group, known as 'Z-generation icons', as they lend their voices to a story adapted from a popular manga about a girl's crush on her handsome senior.

'Almond Chocolate' captures the essence of youthful love, with lyrics that resonate with anyone who's ever had a 'favorite person'. The song's charming melody is a result of a collaboration between Nakajin, leader of the Japanese band Sekai no Owari, and producer Pdogg, known for hits like 'Spring Day' and 'Dynamite'.

ILLIT's venture into the OST scene is not just a new challenge but also a testament to their growing popularity in Japan, even before their official debut in the country. Their debut track 'Magnetic' has already made waves, securing top spots on various charts and earning them the title of 'super rookies'. With 'Almond Chocolate', ILLIT is set to charm the hearts of moviegoers and music lovers alike, further solidifying their place in the global music scene.
