Music Corner Week 39: IVVY
/
IVVY is a five-member dance and vocal unit that formed in September of 2015. The group consists of HIROTO, YU-TA, TOSHIKI, KENTO.i, and TAIYU. HIROTO is the leader and provides vocals and raps. YU-TA is one of the vocalists and has had an interest in music from an early age. TOSHIKI is the oldest member and is also a vocalist. KENTO.i is the rapper and as of October 2015 is the last member to join. Lastly, TAIYU is the youngest member and is the prolific dancer and singer.
IVVY, in their small-time on the music scene, offers a pretty impressive range of songs with some awesome dance numbers, a stunning ballad, and some pretty solid pop singles. One of their stand out songs is “Too Late” which offers an impressive showcase of their amazing vocal skills and KENTO.i’s rap break is the icing on the cake. The harmonization skills are really good, offering a wonderful delight for the listener. My personal favorite song is their latest single “Alice”; a wonderful pop single with an amazing melody and great vocal work. Also, the rap break has a great cadence to it.
IVVY released their first single titled “Baby I’m Back” on October 17 of 2017 under the IVY record label with hit number two on its first day on the Oricon charts. They would then move over to the Victor Entertainment record label to release their single “First & Last” on December 19, 2018. The other single that they have released is “Light on fire”, followed by two digital singles “With You” and “Alice”. IVVY has a new single titled “WINK” and is set to drop on March 25th. IVVY’s official website has all of the latest news on the group along, as does their official Twitter account.
