aiko - “Hanabi” music video
fireworksaiko

Singer-songwriter aiko, who hails from Osaka.

She made her major debut in 1998 with her first single “Ashita,” and her 1999 release “Hanabi” has since become a staple summer song! The uniquely aiko-esque lyrics—like “riding on the constellations and looking down on the fireworks from above”—pair perfectly with the arrangement that beautifully conveys the bittersweet feeling of fireworks fading away, making it hard not to get excited as you listen.

We tend to focus on the vocals, but if you give it another listen, you’ll notice the accompaniment is also crafted with great care—why not give it another check?
