It became popular gradually as a so-called viral hit, spreading by word of mouth.

The song became a turning point that brought him into the spotlight.

The exotic, foreign-flavored lyrics and the alluring, sultry sound have earned widespread support.
I hope you’ll savor its mysterious atmosphere.
By the way, the “Furaidi” in the title isn’t “Friday,” but a coined word derived from “to fly.”
