KoroCRAZY KEN BAND
Centered around vocalist Ken Yokoyama, this is a soulful song by Crazy Ken Band, active since 1997, about the bond with a pet dog.
In the lyrics, the singer recalls memories with Koro, the dog he lived with in childhood, but listening to the middle section suggests that Koro seems to have run away somewhere…
The first half depicts a close relationship between the boy and his dog, and combined with the melancholic accompaniment, the latter half becomes suffused with a bittersweet mood.
