=LOVE＝LOVE
The person I fell in love with at first sight in a dream suddenly appears right in front of me! This song by the idol group =LOVE, produced by Rino Sashihara, celebrates such a miraculous encounter.
“Our eyes met in passing and I felt it was destiny”—while we tell ourselves that such things surely don’t happen in real life, we can’t help but long for them.
That said, even if a meeting isn’t dramatic, it’s not uncommon to suddenly feel someone is your destined partner in an ordinary moment.
When you get that spark, it might be important in love to follow your feelings honestly and start putting yourself out there to the person.
