The track is said to sample representative songs from the ’60s to the ’80s that Namie Amuro selected, with “remake” as its theme.

In the video game Pikmin, the song lyrics—“join forces, fight, get blown away, but we won’t ask you to love us”—capture the Pikmin’s poignant devotion no matter what happens.

At the time, this was widely discussed because it overlapped with the image of office workers belonging to a company.

CHE.R.RYYUI

YUI 『CHE.R.RY-short ver.-』
CHE.R.RYYUI

This is youth at its finest! A sweet and bittersweet love song from a girl’s perspective.

YUI’s girlish voice, the heart-fluttering lyrics, and the melody—every element is packed with the power to capture the hearts of anyone in love.

It portrays the feelings of a girl who entrusts her thoughts for someone of the opposite sex to messages on her cell phone.

Robinsonsupittsu

Rather than having strong messages, Spitz’s songs convey an ordinary, everyday atmosphere, which makes the melodies and lyrics feel easy to take in.

“Robinson” is one of those.

As for the title, it seems that Masamune Kusano, the vocalist and lyricist, often came across the word “Robinson” at the time—like the film “Robinson’s Garden” or Robinsons department stores he saw while traveling—so it stuck with him.
