Blue Bench / Sasuke
This is Sasuke’s debut single, whose standard edition was released in 2004.
It steadily increased its sales from 2004 to 2005, and in 2005 it reached number one on the annual Oricon indie rankings.
It’s a heartrending, tear-jerking song that sings of feelings for a woman after a breakup.
