Billlie has returned to a complete 7-member group. Billlie released their 5th mini-album 'appendix: Of All We Have Lost' on October 16 at 6 PM through various music distribution sites. At the same time, they released the music video for the title track '記憶飴'. The title track '記憶飴' is in the indie pop genre, featuring a signature piano phrase leading the song, complemented by a groovy bassline. It conveys a story of awakening important memories that each member had almost forgotten during their time together, and dreaming again. Notably, IU participated in writing the lyrics for '記憶飴' and was involved in the narration of the two music video teasers, drawing early attention. 'Choosing just one that I was staring at, when I chew that memory, it seeps in like a sweet juice, a slightly sweet expression blurs, even if I feel a bit dizzy, it’s a very beautiful taste, oh it's somystical.' The music video captures the members of Billlie searching for beautiful moments where they shone. The scene where they finally find the '記憶飴' and embrace each other, feeling that the moments spent together were the most beautiful, delivers an emotional impact to listeners, marking Billlie's return as a full 7-member group. Especially noteworthy is that Suah and Suhyun, who paused activities for health reasons, stand at the center of this. The new album includes the double title tracks '記憶飴' and 'trampoline', as well as 'Bluerose', which expresses Billlie running towards an impossible blue dream in the 1980s city pop style, 'BTTB (Back to the Basics)', focusing on their unique side as they prepare to start anew with a bright and brave spirit in the emo pop genre, 'shame', which shouts about singing their true selves rather than living confined by others' gazes in the new romantic genre, and 'dream diary ~ etching mémoires of midnight rêverie', which adds alternative R&B over tropical house beats, depicting how they meet their limitless selves in dreams every night. In total, there are six tracks included.
