With Lyrics: Around Two O'Clock – aiko (included on the best album “Matome I”) piano and vocal cover.

Singer-songwriter aiko has created numerous masterpieces themed around heartbreak.

Among them, a B-side track from her second single, “Around Two O’Clock,” continues to enjoy unwavering support from fans.

The song depicts a woman calling her unrequited love at two in the morning.

The emptiness is almost overwhelming, and it’s enough to bring tears to your eyes.
