愛はかげろう Ai wa kagerou
雅夢 Gamu
Released in September 1980, this is the duo's debut single and the biggest hit.
When I first heard this song, even though I was just a little kid, the duo's passionate voice and sad melody left me a strong impression.
This song was released 40 years ago but I still search for this beautiful piece of music from time to time.
