雪明か) (Yukiakari) by &Team serves as a beautiful cohesive project for the group as their second full length album. The highs of tracks like the opener Yukiakari and Aoarashi provide such beautiful anthemic listening experiences that I can't help but always go back to listen to, while tracks like Deer Hunter and Big好き(suki) are just pure infectious ear worms that are perfect tracks to put on repeat. Because of the length of the record a few songs do get lost in the mix, but ... read more

The group departs from their usual darker aesthetic and concept to lean into a more earnest and romantic style while still keeping what we have all come to know as the ENHYPEN brand. The two new tracks definitely add to the album, but I do wish there was a bit more to warrant a repackage, however it is still an ... read more
