As the lead track from aespa’s Japanese mini album “KISS N TELL,” released this July, “KISS N TELL,” which was performed on the world tour and has become a topic of conversation in countries around the world, will be newly released as a remix version on Friday, November 20. The remix was handled by ☆Taku Takahashi (m-flo, block.fm), a DJ and music producer leading Japan. The collaboration between the two, both active globally, has been realized through the release of “KISS N TELL (☆Taku Takahashi Remix).” The original version is a song filled with the excitement and sense of freedom of summer, and dance videos were posted one after another not only in Japan but also in various countries, making it a viral hit and a hot topic. This remix version has been finished with an arrangement perfect for the holiday and Christmas season, and “KISS N TELL” has been reborn with a new interpretation by ☆Taku Takahashi, who is well versed in dance music. Ahead of the release on Friday, November 20, Pre-add and Pre-save have started today. In addition, as a limited-time feature of the app “Setlog,” which allows users to share daily moments with friends through short videos, aespa effect cameras have been added. Not only does it include the music of the remix version of “KISS N TELL (☆Taku Takahashi Remix),” but it also features video effects inspired by the jacket photo design, and it is an effect that can be used in chat functions and export functions. This is the first time that a function for communicating with music has been implemented in Setlog, and since part of this remix version can be heard, you can enjoy the song a little earlier than its release. In addition, to commemorate the release of this remix version, the special event “KISS N TELL Happy Holiday Event” for aespa’s Japanese first mini album “KISS N TELL” has also been decided. Those who purchase “KISS N TELL” at eligible stores will receive one serial code for applying to the “KISS N TELL Happy Holiday Event” autograph session. It has just been announced that they will also appear on Fuji TV’s “2026 FNS Song Festival Part 2” on December 9, and now, with the newly announced release of the remix version and the holding of the special event, aespa will brightly color the winter season, which will become even more exciting from here on.
