This is the song that catapulted Higedan into the charts – cementing their position in Japan’s music industry in 2019. I fell in love right after the first listen with the piano, the lyrics, and the emotions conveyed by the song overall. The aesthetic music video also added to the impact. Everything about this song […]
But, as we are in the middle of a pandemic, I can’t spend it with friends or family. I took the day off and I’ll figure out what I’ll do later – but for now (it’s currently 3:19 AM), I thought of going down memory lane since I’m also archiving my photos to Google at […]
