TROUBLE cover

## Audio

**TROUBLE** is the ninth digital single from Novel Core dropped as a guerilla release on May 4, 2022. It is the first track on his second major album No Pressure released on August 3.

## Background and release

Similar to the release of his earlier single DOG -freestyle-, no announcement of TROUBLE was given in advance. Only a teaser was released the day before, along with a silhouette of Novel Core's new artist photo. The title would not be officially announced until just hours before the song's release at midnight.

On May 4 the single was released with cover artwork designed by Novel Core himself.

His new artist photos were unveiled featuring him in formal wear.

TROUBLE was co-written with and produced by famous producer Ryosuke "Dr.R" Sakai, who has worked with BMSG before - most recently on BE:FIRST's debut single Gifted.

"Novel Core is aggressive and boasts his own presence on Ryosuke "Dr.R" Sakai's emotional track, which is filled with a disturbing atmosphere." On his YouTube channel he also released a matching "noisy and aggressive lyric video that pierces the message of this song word for word."

Novel Core's thoughts behind the song:

"Trouble is a song that I wrote as a 'Be The Minority' statement; that I and my team are willing to be what people call 'trouble' or 'errors.' I am currently in a phase where I am placing great importance on the feeling of wanting to create a standard that has never existed before. I put it on the first track of the album as a statement of confidence that my fans, staff, and team will grow together. I wanted to start the album with a statement of my future direction."

He decided not to make an official music video for the song saying, "For this work, I don't intend to make a music video. We have the budget to make one, but if the visuals and direction are too distracting from the message I want to convey, I don't think it's the right direction. Let's take it easy and relax...! This song will reach its full potential on June 3."

June 3 referred to the date of his one man live, Novel Core 1st ONEMAN LIVE "I AM THE TROUBLE" whose title came from the song. The concert took place at KT Zepp Yokohama and featured a live band.

**Japanese Lyrics**
腐り切っている　正味

味も知らぬままに

熟れたものから順に

狙う鳶　まるでゾンビ

華奢な鳥かごにも

慣れてしまったみたいで

YES MANしか見当たらねぇ

忖度まみれの宴会芸に

見て見ぬふりをする業界人

凝り固まったシーンの

ペースを乱していこうぜ (oh yeah)

Just go go go

居心地が良さそうだね

あぐらかいていて　そこで

丸ごと塗り替えるGame

絡み付くカルマごと

見掛け倒しの王様達は皆

抜かれている牙

生まれ育ちや肩書きだけじゃ勝てない

All in, let's make a bet

俺には必要ないね　実力以上のPush

ちやほやされるのは嫌いじゃないが趣味じゃないぜ

100円玉を1億に魅せるアイデアこそが最大の資本

100:0で不利な逆転劇に

不敵な笑み浮かべ　全額Bet

勝ち戦ばかり貪る奴を置いて (oh yeah)

Just go go go

影を踏まれたとこで

汚せない才能やセンス

底から突き破るGate

運命ごと捻じ曲げて

見掛け倒しの王様達は皆

抜かれている牙

生まれ育ちや肩書きだけじゃ勝てない

All in, let's make a bet

So sorry but

その通りさ

目障りなエラーがMe

I am the TROUBLE

So sorry but

その通りさ

目障りなエラーがMe

I am the TROUBLE
