SHISHAMO Date Plan - Tried Playing It on Guitar

A song connected to “Love Vacation.” While “Love Vacation” is about after the date, this is about the plan before going.

It conveys the excitement you feel before a date, and it makes me excited too.

It’s the kind of song you want to listen to before heading out to lift your mood.

They are a four-member girls’ band formed by people born in the Heisei era.

The band name is said to embody the idea that “in a dream, you can sing anything.” The vocalist, unusually, sings while playing the keyboard.

The four-part harmonies are very beautiful.

Yuyun: "Let's run away."

This is a song by Yuyun, a girls’ band known for their surreal yet catchy arrangements.

The lyrics capture a youthful, reluctant vibe that’s amusing—somehow both impersonal and oddly encouraging—giving the music a unique character.

Although the band has been on hiatus since 2016, they released many songs.

A one-sided love song by Lucy Too, poppily singing about liking someone so much it borders on stalker-ish—a slightly surreal and cute track.
