Philippines Meets Japan: Lola Amour and KOKORO
MANILA, Philippines – Filipino rock band, Lola Amour, teams up with KOKORO KOHATSU of the Japanese boy group PSYCHIC FEVER from EXILE TRIBE for an exciting new single titled “The Moment (with KOKORO of PSYCHIC FEVER),” out today, Friday, July 18, on all major streaming platforms.
Following the massive success of their breakout hit “Raining in Manila,” which has now surpassed 220 million streams in the Philippines alone, Lola Amour returns with a fresh cross-border collaboration. Blending their signature alt-pop rock sound with KOKORO’s smooth, soulful vocals, “The Moment” delivers a heartfelt take on the rush of falling in love and the sweet anticipation of knowing those feelings might be returned.
Born from a genuine social media exchange, the collaboration took off when Lola Amour shared an Instagram Story reacting to PSYCHIC FEVER’s “Gelato” music video. The two groups began interacting online, covering each other’s songs and drawing an overwhelming response from fans. Their mutual admiration, combined with high demand from their audiences, led to this much-anticipated release.
“The Moment” not only celebrates friendship and connection but also reflects the growing synergy between the Filipino and Japanese music scenes. As Lola Amour gains momentum on the global stage—with shoutouts from artists like EXO’s CHANYEOL and HONNE—this release marks another milestone in their expanding international journey. Meanwhile, PSYCHIC FEVER continues to captivate Southeast Asia with their high-energy performances and strong fan engagement.
This collaboration is more than a song—it's a moment. And it’s just the beginning.
