The nostalgic melody, reminiscent of a children’s song, pairs perfectly with lyrics that evoke faint memories of playing in back alleys at dusk.
It might even be overlaying the bittersweet feelings of first love for someone special with a game of hide-and-seek in search of “that child” who can no longer be found.
A sentimental track that lets you glimpse the precious starting point of a great singer.

The crystallization of her indomitable spirit is the song “Horō Kamome” (Wandering Seagull), which surged back to No.
1 on the cable rankings following her 2023 Yukata Live.
Its lyrics portray a protagonist drifting through life with a tinge of melancholy, perfectly matched by Junko Miki’s deep, lyrical voice.
That voice is like the light of a harbor eventually found by a lone seagull crossing a cold sea.
The richly emotive expressiveness—born of overcoming hardship—is nothing short of breathtaking.

Popular for their high-energy live shows, WANIMA released “Natsugyō” as the theme song for the Netflix anime GAMERA -Rebirth-.
