The song title sense is a bit questionable, but the track itself is really excellent.

I think this might be a B-side or an album cut, but it’s too good to remain overlooked.

This level of quality is what makes him so remarkable.

It’s a KAN-style pop song where KAN’s unique worldview bursts forth.

The piano has a slightly louder, distinctive tone, and the drums come through effectively.

This is likely the kind of sound they originally aimed for.

As music, it’s a wonderfully cohesive track.

Since KAN has released many albums, there are also some unusual, comical songs like this one among them.

It turns memories of the disco-crazed 1980s into a light-touch pop song.

I think it would make for a fun moment during live performances.

If you’re a woman, I’m sure you’d be dying to hear words like these.

It’s a classic love song so cheesy it hurts, and I think only someone like KAN could pull off singing a track like this.

With the sweet melody in full force, it might be a bit tough for a guy to listen to it alone.
