milet 'us' MUSIC VIDEO (Theme song for the Nippon TV Wednesday drama 'Gisou Furin' [Fake Affair])

The drama “Gisou Furin” (Fake Affair) is a wacky story in which a single woman, on a whim, lies that she’s married and ends up falling in love with a younger man, a romance that begins as an “affair.” In each episode, she wants to come clean about the lie, but most of the time she just can’t quite do it, and every time that happens, this song plays as if speaking for the heroine’s aching feelings.

milet is a singer with a distinctive voice, but she hasn’t revealed her profile, and her mysterious presence is intriguing as well.
