ILLIT - Cherish (My Love)

The intro is seriously, insanely good and the sampling is top-tier,

But the moment it hits the 'Simjangi ool-la-la~' part, the hype just dies instantly.

If you only listen to the intro, it has this nostalgic vibe like you're being whisked away to a fantasy world.

The intro samples a song from the anime 'The Five Star Stories.'

The original artist, Tomoyuki Asakawa, said he barely even remembered the track when ILLIT's label reached out for the sample. He commented that he's just happy one of the dozens of tracks he made ages ago has found new life after all this time.
