Invisible ManToukyou Jihen
After a breakup, it’s only natural to lose confidence and think, “There’s no one out there who could love me,” and become pessimistic.
Even if you know in your head that it’s temporary, it’s truly painful when you’re in the thick of it.
Tokyo Jihen’s “Transparent Person” gently lightens that feeling.
The protagonist is an invisible person—or someone convinced they are—but you can feel the carefree freedom of an invisible person who “can go anywhere without being seen by anyone.” It’s a song that offers a playful cheer to a heart that’s feeling down.
