The Noise (song)

On July 30, 2025, fashion e-commerce website Zozotown announced Zozofes, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the website, to be held at K-Arena Yokohama on October 12 and 13. It was described as a special event that "combines fashion and music", centered on the theme of "Y2K".^[1] The first lineup to perform on October 13 was revealed concurrently, with Le Sserafim and Yoasobi.^[2] The event stated that the attending artists would perform a collaborative song for the commemoration.^[3] On September 22, a collaborative song by Le Sserafim and Yoasobi was unveiled, titled "The Noise",^[4] and was released on September 26.^[5]

"The Noise" contains a sample of Yoasobi's 2019 single "Yoru ni Kakeru" and the producer team Tokyo Coffee Break handled the partially new lyrics, remixing, and re-arrangement, fusing the city pop and Y2K styles, which suited Zozofes's theme.^[6] Compared to the original, the song was transformed to a slower BPM, and a "sweet and soft" soul and R&B sound.^[7] Ikura sang the original lyrics, while Le Sserafim sang the newly written lyrics.^[7]

Le Sserafim and Yoasobi's Ikura debuted the live performance of "The Noise" at Zozofes, held at K-Arena Yokohama on October 13, 2025.^[8] The song was featured on Zozotown's online commercials "Suki ni, Kiyō ze", starring Airu Kubozuka and Mei Hata.^[9] An accompanying music video for the song was released on November 27.^[10]
