Dynamic Duo Hiroki Release New Soul-Pop Anthem, ‘Thank You Come Again’

Out now, released July 19, ‘Thank You Come Again’ is the new single from Hiroki, an AAPI duo from Portland, Oregon. It’s available to stream and download here.

Comprising Salvatore Manalo and Matt Brewster, Hiroki have a knack for crafting playful and heartfelt love songs, which have been infused with elements of their AAPI heritage, including clever puns and references to Asian food, which they’ve woven carefully into each line. Comparing to the object of their affections to noodles, wasabi, kim chee, ramen, and miso, ‘Thank You Come Again’ is a light-hearted love song, that will bring a smile to the face of any listener.

Starting out as a bit of witty wordplay between Salvatore and Matt, ‘Thank You Come Again’ soon became a fully-fledged song after a recording session in the studio. Infectious and succinct, the song will soon be joined by a music video, which will charm fans even more.

‘Thank You Come Again’ is out now and is available to stream and download here. You can find out more about Hiroki and their music online on Instagram, Facebook, Spotify, and Apple Music.
