A fresh listen to RIIZE: Sohee, Shotaro and “Insomnia”

A fresh focus for your next listen

Already heard “Insomnia”? Try changing your focus: what stands out when you pay closer attention to the voices?
In NYLON France’s November 6 interview, Shotaro discussed vocal tone and emotional delivery. Sohee emphasized sincerity in expressing stories and feelings through music.
In Billboard Brasil, the group also described the calm, guitar-led sound as an opportunity to hear each member’s voice.

Three listening prompts from our editors

• Vocal texture: notice how a phrase begins and ends, alongside the high notes.
• Transitions: listen to how the mood continues or changes between voices.
• Sound and image: focus on the audio first, then revisit the MV. Do its expressions and story change your response?

These are editorial listening prompts, not official explanations of individual scenes.
