The Light of Betelgeuse / the HIATUS (by SPANK THE AGE)
This is a track included on the 2nd album, “ANOMALY.” It’s rare for Hosomi, who often writes lyrics in English, to have an entire song in Japanese.
Because of that, this song is especially easy for anyone to understand.
Since becoming the HIATUS, the lyrics carrying striking themes of “journey,” “wistfulness,” and “melancholy” have been memorable, and that quality comes alive in this track as well.
