OCTPATH is a Japanese idol group consisting of 8 men between the ages of 21 and 25. Form during the second season of PRODUCE 101 JAPAN, the group’s debut single It’s a Bop was used as the theme song to the criminal bromance Kei x Yaku and not only hit #1 on the Oricon single chart but went on to sell more than 100K copies.
Since their debut, the group has had several songs featured in BL dramas. Their second single Perfect was the theme song to Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss while their newest track Daydream is the theme song to the new BL drama Perfect Propose – which currently airs in the US on Amazon.
While I haven’t seen the series yet, from what I’ve heard about it, the single, with his sweet lyrics and gentle sound, is a perfect fit.
A double A-Side single with OCTAVE, the single, released in both physical and digital formats through Universal Music, is best described as pop with a bite. Though, it’s a sound the group has been cultivating since their debut in 2022. The beat mixed with their masculine voices oozes a certain type of sensuality that has also become synonymous with the group. Simply put, they’re sexy. Incredibly sexy.
The single also includes the bright – mid-tempo ballad(ish) Hello Tomorrow and an English version of OCTAVE. While it’s not my favorite of their releases (Like claims that title), it’s a decent single and worth the price.
While a lossless digital purchase is not an option for Western audiences, the physical copy of OCTAVE / Daydream can be ordered wherever Japanese music is sold, including CD JAPAN!
