Ringo Shiina’s side project? actually, ‘Soutaiseiriron’) included on their fifth album, “Tensei Jingle,” released in 2016.
The word “Cerberus” might sound scary, but the song itself is very cute.
It plays on the idea of a Cerberus that never lets go once it bites and the feeling of wanting to stay with you forever, no matter what—like a love song.
