“Puni” feels like someone hitting fast-forward on a night out before you’ve even left the house. Reminiscent of getting ready with your friends, the electrifying beat radiates energy. Starting 2026 with a bang, the Japanese hip hop artist comes roaring back with a track that’s all momentum. Her voice darts and snaps over a relentlessly fast, club-ready beat that barely gives you time to breathe while you sing or hum along.
Her delivery is the driving force in the track: sharp, playful, and packed with personality. It transform every day moments and cultural references, such as checking “dounjin” updates on your phone and posting fan fiction.
The lyrics bounce from small, hyper-specific details like heading over to a friend’s place, into something that feels bigger than the sum of its parts. It’s not about telling a story so much as recreating a mood and that familiar feeling of excitement for what’s yet to come. “Puni” makes you feel as if anything is possible.
Despite its speed and layered sensory aspects, “Puni” never feels heavy. It’s light on its feet and is joy-centric, bringing the listener a sense of connection as they connect to valknee’s musical narrative.
In just a few minutes, valknee turns restless energy into something infectious and urges you to dance along. The high-octane and fast-paced beat is a reminder of how fun pop-rap can be when it doesn’t overthink itself.
