hydrangeakyanai
A work that sings of a fleeting yet beautiful end to love, as if dissolving into the June rain.
“Ajisai” (Hydrangea) by Kyannai is the fifth digital single, released on May 11, 2022.
By contrasting hydrangeas—whose flower language includes “infidelity”—with cherry blossoms, which symbolize “purity,” it symbolically portrays the transient passion of romance, its conclusion, and the shift toward new love.
Rather than lamenting the end of love, it conveys an attitude of accepting it as a part of life.
It’s a heart-piercing song you’ll want to listen to on a wistful rainy day.
