The Blue Sky I Wanted to See / “That’s a Fairy” Music Video [4K]

A winter coming-of-age song released as the 7th single in December 2025.

It tells the story of a boy who, captivated by a girl he glimpsed by chance on a station platform, boards a packed train every morning to look for her, only for the days to pass without a reunion.

It portrays a first love that keeps a fleeting encounter engraved in the heart.

It captures a delicate longing for someone elusive, almost like a fairy.

I hope you can relate to the fragility of winter romance.
