Music Corner Week 63: kolme
/kolme is a three-member idol group that formed back in 2014 and is a rare group in the idol world. Drawing on their wide range of talents, the three members produce their own songs and choreography. RUUNA is the group’s leader, while KOUMI specializes in dance and MIMORI is the songwriter, resulting in a unique style that is bursting with creativity. While not falling into that hyperactive pop style that idols are usually classed in, the girls try to shake up what it means to be in the genre by having all-around great compositions that run throughout different styles.
Songs such as the hip-hop and R&B inspired ballad “Hello No Buddy” and “Remind me…” showcase MIMORI’s knack for creating a fresh and never-before heard composition with a stunning mixture of heartwarming lyrics. The fact that they produce their own songs benefits them when they try to experiment. You can see this in the high tempo “Tie me down” and the more emotionally charged “See you” as they both benefit from having the knowledge of what the members vocal range is and maximize it on all fronts to, in the long run, make the songs more memorable.
Currently, kolme has seven singles, two EPs, three albums, and several digital releases. Check out their official website, Twitter, and Instagram. Also, be sure to watch their latest music video “See you” featuring fox capture plan below!
