My Little Lover / Hanakappa × My Little Lover “Colorful” Character ver.

It’s the first season opening theme, ‘Colorful.’ My Little Lover tends to have a strong pop image, but it turns out they also sang theme songs for children’s shows.

True to its title, the song conveys that this world is fun precisely because it’s filled with characters of many different personalities.

It seems to carry a message to children: it’s okay to be yourself.

Hello again ~ a place that’s been around since long ago ~My Little Lover16rank/position

Hello,Again

It’s one of My Little Lover’s early smash hits that propelled them into hugely popular artists.

The main riff feels very sentimental and somehow nostalgic, doesn’t it? That alone makes the song moving, but pay attention to the lyrics too! The narrator, “I,” is said to be expressing their feelings as they leave a place they’ve grown attached to.

That said, the lyrics could be interpreted in various other ways as well.
