moon, 3li¥en & Coco K are on the prowl for handsome men on ‘IKEMEN [イケメン]’
The challenge was to create a banger in just 7 days
In 2026, dropping a music video and praying the algorithm blesses it isn’t enough. Up-and-coming artists need concepts, momentum, and a reason for fans to stay tapped in. While in Tokyo, moon decided to put all three to the test by giving herself a bold challenge: create a full-on banger in just seven days.
Over the course of the week, moon documented the entire process on Instagram—beat hunting, club hopping, and linking with new collaborators in real time. The first big win was connecting with fellow MCs 3li¥en and Coco K. From there, the concept clicked instantly: handsome men—a universal theme the internet was always going to ride for.
What followed was a fast-moving, collaborative sprint. The trio filmed across stylish spots in Japan, pulling in good-looking guys, vibrant city backdrops, and raw behind-the-scenes energy, with moon taking the reins as director. Fans weren’t just watching the rollout; they were part of it.
Three days ago, moon completed the challenge with the release of ‘IKEMEN [イケメン],’ a playful, ratchet-leaning anthem where all three artists trade confident verses about what they want, capped off with a slick B2B finale. More than just a song, the drop proves that social-first challenges can build traction, spark community, and turn the creative process itself into content worth following.
