ORANGE RANGE × MONGOL800 – Telepathy | Trailer

This is a single released in 2004 by the five-member male band ORANGE RANGE.

It was used in a cell phone commercial featuring Satoshi Tsumabuki.

For the time, it had a techno sound, and its modern vibe resonated especially with younger listeners.

While ORANGE RANGE often has more intense love songs, including “Hana” and “Kizuna,” this track is a cute, lighter love song.
