‘4 SEASONS’ is an acoustic track that delicately captures the emotions the XG vocal unit, CHISA, HINATA, and JURIA, have held close over time. Feelings that could not be expressed despite their closeness, moments spent apart, and emotions that gradually deepened are gently revealed through calm guitar tones and expansive soundscapes.
The song focuses on moments where each member’s emotions reflect one another like mirrors as the seasons change. Warmth and quiet sadness that had settled deep in their hearts, along with feelings left unspoken, softly overlap with shifting scenery, emerging as subtle forms of mutual support. The delicate vocal performances and carefully crafted arrangement vividly portray emotional nuances and depth, leaving traces of feelings that linger in the spaces between sounds, gently awakening listeners’ own memories and moments in time.
Reflecting the changing emotions across the four seasons, ‘4 SEASONS’ naturally conveys the thoughts the members have carried within them, leaving a calm and lasting aura long after the song ends.
The music video, released alongside today’s track, follows CHISA, HINATA, and JURIA as they journey through the seasons and arrive at the end of the year and Christmas together. Simply by being close to one another, they create a time filled with warmth and happiness. Scenes of cooking together, dancing with laughter, and playfully spending time naturally bring smiles to viewers’ faces. Moments of drinking coffee together, sharing cake, and enjoying their favorite music express how even ordinary days can become cherished memories, gently conveying how sharing time with someone can truly warm the heart.
