Pair-ring

A heartrending track included on Sora, the album Gakky—Yui Aragaki—released before she got married.

The lyrics and music are by Toko Furuuchi, known for hits like “Takaramono” and “Ginza.” It’s a song that feels as if it’s asking, “How would you act if the person you like already had a girlfriend?” The lyrics paint a picture of a man she has feelings for who is incredibly kind—but the ring shining on his finger is a matching pair with his girlfriend’s, making the heartbreak absolute.

Set to a fairly bright, poppy melody, the contrast somehow makes it feel even more melancholy…
