secret

A number about adult love sung by YUKI, who has been energetically active even after going solo.

There are romances that get more intense precisely because they’re forbidden, aren’t there? Words used as keywords—like burn, red thread, and pinky finger—are filled with a bittersweet feeling.

The song title, “Himitsu” (Secret), refers to a love that mustn’t be known by others.

This bittersweet track sung by the adorable YUKI seems likely to continue winning support.
