=LOVE (Equal Love) / 1st ALBUM track 'I Heard the Sound of Cherry Blossoms Blooming' MV [YouTube ver.]

This is a heartwarming =LOVE song that gently conveys the arrival of spring.

It portrays a faint, bittersweet first love by likening the flutter of a first crush to the invisible scene of “the sound of cherry blossoms blooming.” The reasons the protagonist prefers riding in the third car of the school commuter train, and the care she takes with her hairstyle, convey the feelings of a girl earnestly navigating her first love despite her confusion.

Included on the May 2021 album “Zenbu, Naisho.” (“Everything’s a Secret.”), the song also drew attention for its refreshingly springlike visual beauty in the music video.

It’s a perfect track for the spring season—one that makes your heart flutter when listened to at the start of a new school term.

It’s recommended not only for those in love, but also for anyone who wants to enjoy the spirit of spring.

This is the first single released under one of Tsuyoshi Domoto’s solo monikers, ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI; Domoto is also active as a member of KinKi Kids.

Its airy, floating sound—evoking an unsteady mind and shifting feelings—together with vocals that accentuate that mood, creates a unique world.

The track conjures the sense of unease behind the beauty of cherry blossoms, which can be seen only for a limited time each year: how many more times will we get to witness this scene?
