ZICO (지코), Lilas (YOASOBI’s ikura) – DUET
Today, Lilas—also known as ikura from J-pop duo YOASOBI—released a highly anticipated collaboration track with South Korean hip-hop artist ZICO called “Duet.” A first-ever collaboration between the two rising stars.
Ahead of its release, the song was teased by ZICO, who posted to social media that he was “looking for a partner to sing the song with”—leading to widespread speculation on who the collaboration partner would be. Lilas confirmed her involvement days later, heightening expectations for a new sound where Korean hip-hop and Japanese J-pop collide.
Lilas recently released her sophomore solo album, Laugh.
The new record arrives nearly three years after her acclaimed solo debut LP, Sketch, and is a collection of songs that reflects her wide-ranging artistic growth, capturing her challenges and achievements across 13 tracks. Listen to “Cafe Latte” from the LP, a new tie-in song for the Korean drama Surely Tomorrow.
Lilas LIVE TOUR 2026 “Laugh” will be held across three locations this May:
May 5th and May 6th: Kobe World Memorial Hall, Hyogo, Japan
May 16th and May 17th: Pia Arena MM, Kanagawa, Japan
May 23rd: Olympic Hall at Olympic Park, Seoul, South Korea
Earlier this year, Lilas was named a global ambassador for COACH, joining their Fall 2025 campaign “Revive Your Courage.” This marked her first foray into serving as an ambassador for a fashion brand. She also recently shared an English version of her single “In Bloom.” Last month, Lilas teamed up with two international stars on their latest tracks: “Plus Rien” with acclaimed French rapper Orelsan, and “Perfectos Imperfectos,” the latest single from Spanish singer-songwriter Pablo Alborán.
