Many of you were probably captivated by the way these princely performers sing and dance, weren’t you? The romantic concept—likening a cherished person to a modern princess and vowing to “keep protecting her even after the magic fades”—is irresistibly heart-fluttering.

This song is King & Prince’s debut single, released in May 2018, and it also served as the theme for the drama “Hana Nochi Hare: HanaDan Next Season.” The record they set—577,000 copies sold in the first week of their debut—was also memorable.

Please listen and swoon as if receiving a message from your very own prince.
