Even if you weren’t the one they chose, the fact that you loved doesn’t change… A bittersweet yet forward-looking sentiment runs through this touching HY ballad.

koi-wazuraiKing&Prince
Although it’s written in the Latin alphabet, let me introduce “koi-wazurai,” which properly begins with the sound “ko.” This song was created by King & Prince as the theme for the film Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.
The movie centers on romantic mind games, and the song likewise focuses on the exchanges between a man and a woman.
At the same time, it clearly conveys the affection underlying those interactions.
That depth of flavor is one of the work’s charms.
