Banzai ~ I’m glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu

Ulfuls – Banzai ~I'm Glad I Fell in Love~

Banzai ~ I'm glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu

Is there any other song that so loudly and proudly sings of love like this? Ulfuls’ “Banzai ~Suki de Yokatta~” is a wonderful track with a straightforward, honest expression of affection.

The words are incredibly simple, yet they’re so embarrassing that they’re hard to say out loud.

It’s a song that brightly speaks for what many men feel in their hearts.
