Lightsum Pre-releases Title Track ‘どうして’ from Japanese Debut Album ‘Re:idol’

The group Lightsum (SANGAH, CHOWON, NAYOUNG, HINA, JUHYEON, YUJEONG) has begun full-scale preparations for local activities by suddenly releasing the title track ‘どうして’ from their Japanese debut album ‘Re:idol’ at 0:00 on the 16th. This pre-release is a move to heighten the debut fever one week before the official album release scheduled for the 23rd.

According to media reports, the title track ‘どうして’ is a song that lovelily depicts the excitement and anxiety of unrequited love, where one is shaken by the minor words and actions of a person they like. Honest lyrics such as ‘Moshikashite suki? (Do you perhaps like me?)’ and ‘Doushite kyun ga tomaranai no (Why won't this fluttering heart stop?)’ combine with a bouncy, catchy melody to deliver a pleasant energy.

The music video teaser released along with the track features the members in various settings such as claw machines, theaters, and restaurants. In particular, the mysterious direction where light spreads from the hands of CHOWON, YUJEONG, and HINA, along with the members' lively facial expressions, is raising expectations for the main video. Lightsum has been sequentially revealing the process of preparing new songs and choreography through the ABEMA original documentary ‘Re:Idol’. The documentary consists of a total of 7 episodes and the final episode is scheduled to air on the 20th.

The debut album ‘Re:idol’, to be released on the 23rd, will include 4 new songs including the title track ‘どうして’, ‘Fallin’ World’, ‘Stop and Go’, and ‘夜を歩く君へ’. Additionally, the cute version of the digital single released in 2024, ‘POSE! (Kawaii ver.)’, will be added, making a total of 5 songs. Through this album, Lightsum plans to showcase a new charm by adding local sensibilities to their unique bright and cheerful energy.

Meanwhile, Lightsum will continue to meet local fans by taking the stage at ‘SBI MUSIC CIRCUS HOKKAIDO 2026’ to be held at the Daiwa House PREMIST DOME in Hokkaido on the 26th.
