It’s a track that opens up an introspective world, prompting you to reexamine yourself from the small discomforts of everyday life.

Included on the album “RUBY POP,” released in November 2024, the lyrics were written by Aina the End herself.

Inspired by the sight of a dog in clothes walking along the roadside, it humorously portrays the awkwardness of living beyond one’s means.

This is a pop tune that depicts the preciousness of casually walking down a night road with a friend.

The piece was created by Aina the End, inspired by real experiences with a friend.

Like a plant with thorns—projecting toughness on the outside while storing kindness and hope within—it lightly and nimbly sings of delicate emotions through her signature husky voice.

It’s the 11th track on her first solo album, “THE END,” released in February 2021.

The song evokes warm reconciliation beyond pain and the small happiness of everyday life, making it a wonderful number that suits situations like meeting an old friend after a long time, or offering solace to those a little worn out by human relationships.
