to fall in loveSHISHAMO32rank/position
It’s an adorable love song that captures that heart-thumping moment when a guy friend you never consciously thought about suddenly becomes someone you like.
Many people have probably experienced being startled by a small gesture or expression from someone you considered just a friend, and then finding your interactions becoming awkward from that point on.
Because they weren’t in your romantic sights before, you may feel like you’ve shown too much of your true self and think, “It’s too late now.” But it might be that the reason they stayed by your side all this time is because they had a good impression of the real you.
Why not take the plunge and tell them how you feel?
Try loving—it’s not like you’ll lose anything.neguse.33rank/position

Released in April 2023, the track attracted attention as the follow-up to “Good na Ongaku o,” which became a major hit on TikTok.
A music video was also produced, presented as a drama that portrays the everyday lives of a man and a woman.
