Background and release

[edit | edit source]

On August 5, 2024, Seventeen announced they would be releasing a new Japanese single in the second half of the year.[1] In September 2024, the group announced that the upcoming Japanese single would be the theme song for NHK's 2024 TV drama Mirai no Watashi ni Bukkama Sareru!? (jp).[2][3]

On the final day of their Right Here World Tour's United States leg, Seventeen announced the release of the new Japanese single, set to be physically released two days before the tour's first shows in Japan.[4] The a-side, "Shohikigen", was confirmed to be the song featured on the NHK drama.[4] The song has two b-sides: the Japanese versions of "Circles" from Sector 17 (2022) and "Maestro" from 17 Is Right Here (2024).[5]

"Shohikigen" was first performed at the group's first Right Here tour stop in Japan, at the Vantelin Dome in Nagoya, on December 29, 2024. A recording of the performance on December 30 was featured on Nippon Television's 2024 Best Artist (ja) broadcast.[6]

Composition

"Shohikigen" has been described as a ballad with soft vocals that evoke feelings of sadness and nostalgia.[7] Lyrically, the song explores the "expiration date" of "even the strongest feelings".[8]

The lyrics for "Shohikigen" were written by Woozi and Bumzu, with Japanese lyrics written by Barbora. The song was produced by Woozi, Bumzu, and Park Ki-tae, with arrangement by Bumzu, Park, and Nmore.[9] Barbora was also credited for the Japanese lyrics of "Circles" and "Maestro".[10]
