November 11th is Pocky Day! To celebrate, we’ve playfully compiled 22 tracks (11+11) featuring album covers with 1111 full-length portraits. This unique playlist flows seamlessly through soul, soft rock, Britpop, new wave, and post-punk, creating a surprising and satisfying blend. We’re grateful for the serendipitous connection that Pocky has inspired.
By the way, although we’re calling it Pocky Day, the cover photo actually features “Pepero,” the Korean version of Pocky, brought back as a souvenir from a team member’s trip to Korea. A small memento of the journey!
