This is a track from the 2016 album “Junjō Randoseru.” With its pop, bright, and calm vibe, it made me think, “Is this an ending theme for something?” And yes! It’s the ending theme for NHK’s “Gretel no Madoka”! The scene in the MV intro where she sings holding a dandelion is fantastic, too.
Girl bands are great, aren’t they?
