On the day of New Jeans' Japanese debut, 'Supernatural' performance was pre-released.

Group NewJeans will finally release their debut single 'Supernatural' in Japan at 1pm on the 21st.

New Jeans has already won a series of awards at influential music awards ceremonies such as the 'Japan Record Awards' and 'Japan Gold Disc Awards', and sold out the second Tokyo Dome fan meeting, showing their high status and influence in Japan. Their local activities have begun in earnest. As much as it is possible, it attracts a lot of attention.

New Jeans members said through their agency ADOR, "We are really excited and happy to be making our debut in Japan, which we have been looking forward to for a long time. It feels like we are creating a new chapter in Japan." They added, "We are proud to be the Bunnies (fandom name) with the songs we love." “I’m so excited to work with you, so please look forward to it.”

The title song 'Supernatural' is a new jack swing style song that stands out with a nostalgic sensibility and the members' soft vocals. This song was reinterpreted by producer 250, taking its iconic ad-lib and bridge from pop star Pharrell Williams' 2009 collaboration with Japanese singer Manami, 'Back of My Mind'.

New Jeans explained 'Supernatural', saying, "It's a song you can't get out of once you hear it. The intro and Pharrell Williams' ad-libs are powerful, and the synth sounds and beats that follow are ridiculously exciting." Regarding the performance, he said, "I thought it was important to feel like everyone was playing together, so I paid attention to harmonizing with the dancers. I hope people watching will also be excited."

The b-side song 'Right Now', which first became known to the world through its music video with colorful colors and sensuous visuals, is characterized by the members' soft vocals that contrast with the fast beat of drum and bass. New Jeans said, “This is a song that highlights our coolness and mature charm.”

New Jeans appeared on Fuji TV's 'Mezamashi TV', which was broadcast live this morning, and unveiled their 'Supernatural' performance for the first time. It was a stage that made the audience shake their shoulders with the rhythm, lively steps, and free-spirited groove that took advantage of the characteristics of the new jack swing genre. New Jeans' unique sensibility stands out as it harmonizes with the dancers and provides lively energy with happy and bright smiles throughout.

New Jeans will be broadcasting on Fuji TV's 'Mezamashi 8' and TV Asahi's 'Music Station' on the same day, Nippon TV's 'with MUSIC' on the 22nd, and TBS' CDTV Live on the 24th! Live!', Fuji TV's 'FNS Song Festival' on the 3rd of next month, and TBS' 'Music Day 2024' on the 13th of next month. They plan to continue performing the new song on representative local music broadcast programs.
