おあいこ Oaiko
ハナレグミ Hanaregumi
Released in August 2015, this song was released originally as one of the songs in the album, "What are you looking for". Hanaregumi is a solo project of Takashi Nagazumi, the lead vocal of SUPER BUTTER DOG.
I don't know much about SUPER BUTTER DOG, but this song caught my attention and as looked up, I found out that this song was made by Youjirou Noda of RADWINPS. His lyrics are like a love letter that makes you wonder and imagine about the relationship of the couple.

Actually, this is a heartbreak song. It's a very deep and beautiful lyric, so I love this song so much.
ReplyDeleteNagadsumi Takashi is such a talented singer. If you don't know much about him, I recommend you to try "Sayonara Colour" by Super Butter Dog or "Kazoku no Fuukei" by Hanaregumi. It's a bit old, but definitely a masterpiece.

In addition to that the keyboardist of Super Butter Dog "Ikeda Takafumi" is now active as famous comic singer "Rekishi". If you have basic knowledge of Japanese language and history, perhaps you can understand how funny it is.
