Jpop Recommend #343 Kousui by EITO

香水　Kousui 

瑛人 EITO

Released in April 2019, this song is slowly acknowledged through tik tok.
The melody is quite simple but we can easily relate to the lyrics and the world "Dolce&Gabbana" keeps ringing in my ear.  I wonder what kind of fragrance this brand's perfume has.

I like the lyrics and its "オチ, ochi", or punch line at the end.

English version covered by Shen (from Def Tech)
