Included as the seventh track on the 2010 album “Synchroniciteen.” Its charm lies in a laid-back, poppy sound; unique lyrics that weave in the Japanese syllabary; and Etsuko Yakushimaru’s cute vocals, tinged with a languid, coquettish allure.

Included as the fourth track on the 2017 debut EP “Tunneling Through.” When faced with your adorable self, words just won’t come out—words are powerless in front of you! Although it sings about a tangled love affair, the simple female vocals and aggressive rock sound feel pleasant and leave you feeling refreshed.
