Yorushika – Fireworks of Shoes (Music Video)

It’s a song that conjures the image of a summer dusk, where sparklers crackle and burn away in a fleeting moment.

Suis’s crystal-clear vocals and the acoustic guitar’s arpeggios gently color its aching poignancy.

Released with a music video in April 2017 and later included in Yorushika’s mini-album “The Flaw in Summer Grass” in June of the same year, it stands as one of their emblematic early works.

When you’re weighed down by a sudden loneliness or a sorrow too deep for words, this song will quietly stay by your side.
