The bittersweet feeling at summer’s end and the beauty of lights blooming in the night sky seep into the heart along with the piano’s flowing tones.

The way the emotion bursts open at the chorus after the quiet night air is exactly like the lights that color the night sky.

This work is a single released in August 2017 by the duo DAOKO and Kenshi Yonezu.

Chosen as the theme song for the animated film “Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?”, it became a major talking point.

A self-cover was later included on the album “BOOTLEG.” The interplay of male and female vocals is exquisite, giving you the sense of sharing the same view.

It’s a perfect pop tune to sing at karaoke with close friends while reminiscing about wonderful summer memories!

Gekiyaku V’s urgent, visceral vocals and Kazehiki V’s lyrical voice intersect within a cinematic soundscape, stirring the listener’s emotions.

Released in July 2024 as a track by Dabakuha Shin and included on the album “V.S,” the highlight of this work is, above all, the exhilarating back-and-forth woven by the two vocalists.

While feeling the constriction of being expected to deliver a “finished product,” the lyrics portray a figure who, in the end, reruns everything and faces forward—and the vocal performances fit that vision perfectly.

Sing it like you’re shouting your resolve toward the future with a close friend, and you’ll find the courage to step into tomorrow.

[Kagamine Rin/Len] The Wolf Fell in Love with Little Red Riding Hood [Original]

The song progresses from both perspectives: the Wolf (Kagamine Len) and Little Red Riding Hood (Kagamine Rin).

If these two were to meet, the story’s ending would be… so they intentionally avoid each other.

It carries a slightly bittersweet feeling.

If sung by two women, the key might fit better.
