Rising J-pop singer Hibiki dropped a digital EP called “Desire (Latin Mix)” that includes a Latin-flavored mix of her first original number that was featured as the festival song of the 37th Tokyo International Film Festival this year.

Listen to it below.

The lyrics are all in English, and the budding star notes that the song expresses her will to be heard by music listeners not only in her home country but also around the world, and to expand her work as an artist on a global scale.

This article was created in partnership with White Claw®.

White Claw® Sessions Powered by Billboard is a premier event series that celebrates music, creativity, and social connection. On Monday night, this year’s free series of experiences came to a close with an epic celebration in Miami, featuring performances from De La Ghetto, Venesti and Mr. Pauer. Fans came through with their crew to enjoy the star-studded lineup and cheers to a big night of Latin music.

The evening kicked off with an intimate discussion with De La Ghetto, where White Claw® brought VIP fans—and a few lucky fans from the line—behind the scenes of his storied career in reggaeton. He touched upon his diverse range of cross-genre influences, operating as an independent artist, and times when living in the moment and connecting with friends, ala Grab Life By The Claw™, has led to some of his biggest collaborations, including his work with Daddy Yankee.

“There was just one time, I think it was 11, 12 years ago. I was at Daddy Yankee’s studio. We’re talking about Yankee when he was still the big boss,” De La Ghetto explained, “Yankee had a studio in Carolina, Puerto Rico… All of a sudden, Yankee opens the door to the studio with the ‘Llegamos a la Disco’ beat. It was like, Yo, everybody’s here. Let’s do this song together.”

“Like right there. He put me on the spot. He said, ‘De La Ghetto, you know what? Come up with the hook.’ I was like, damn, Yankee, I see.. I like to take my time when I’m writing, you feel me? So all of a sudden, me sale el coro, así natural.. I just laid down the hook, and then everybody start doing their own thing. All of a sudden, two weeks later, we shot the video, and boom, and it was just one of my biggest hits ever.”

In addition to the exclusive Q&A, White Claw also surprised the lucky fans from the line with a meet and greet and photo op with De La Ghetto.

The party continued as doors opened, bringing fans closer to the stage and beach, where they grabbed their favorite White Claw® drinks—whether it was a classic White Claw®, a bold White Claw® Surge, or a refreshing piña colada made with White Claw® Vodka—and got ready for a night of fun and music. Mr. Pauer warmed up the crowd with today’s biggest reggaeton hits as fans enjoyed drinks, dancing, photos and merchandise to commemorate the night. Venesti kept the oceanside vibes going, delighting fans with an upbeat mix of reggaeton and dembow-laced hits that paired perfectly with the sunset. De La Ghetto took the stage with an epic lineup of his biggest hits, ranging from his verse on Daddy Yankee’s “‘Llegamos a la Disco” to newer work off his 2023 release GZ.

From can’t-miss shows and fly away festival experiences to partnerships with top charting artists and exclusive fan giveaways, White Claw® is no stranger to the music space.  Though White Claw® Sessions Powered by Billboard has come to a close, the fun isn’t over—White Claw® Sessions will continue into 2025, so stay tuned for more exciting Sessions with your favorite artists!

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it will hear arguments next month over the constitutionality of the federal law that could ban TikTok in the United States if its Chinese parent company doesn’t sell it.

The justices will hear arguments Jan. 10 about whether the law impermissibly restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment.

The law, enacted in April, set a Jan. 19 deadline for TikTok to be sold or else face a ban in the United States. The popular social media platform has more than 170 million users in the U.S.

It’s unclear how quickly a decision might come. But the high court still could act after the arguments to keep the law from taking effect pending a final ruling, if at least five of the nine justices think it’s unconstitutional.

Lawyers for the company and China-based ByteDance had urged the justices to step in before Jan. 19. The high court also will hear arguments from content creators who rely on the platform for income and some TikTok users.

The timing of the arguments means that the outgoing Biden administration’s Justice Department will make the case in defense of the law that passed Congress with bipartisan support and was signed by Democratic President Joe Biden in April.

The incoming Republican administration might not have the same view of the law.

President-elect Donald Trump, who once supported a ban but then pledged during the campaign to “save TikTok,” has said his administration would take a look at the situation. Trump met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida on Monday.

The companies have said that a shutdown lasting just a month would cause TikTok to lose about one-third of its daily users in the U.S. and significant advertising revenue.

The case pits free speech rights against the government’s stated aims of protecting national security, while raising novel issues about social media platforms.

A panel of federal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the law on Dec. 6, then denied an emergency plea to delay the law’s implementation.

Without court action, the law would take effect Jan. 19 and expose app stores that offer TikTok and internet hosting services that support it to potential fines.

It would be up to the Justice Department to enforce the law, investigating possible violations and seeking sanctions. But lawyers for TikTok and ByteDance have argued that Trump’s Justice Department might pause enforcement or otherwise seek to mitigate the law’s most severe consequences. Trump takes office a day after the law is supposed to go into effect.
