Laura’s Scarred BodyGōruden Bonbā
It’s a song by Golden Bomber filled with the lament of someone in love: despite not meeting on Christmas, Valentine’s Day, or a birthday—days couples would normally spend together—they’ll go on a date for Setsubun.
The sorrow of a man being used by the person he likes feels somehow both poignant and painful, doesn’t it? There probably aren’t many couples who go on a special date “because it’s Setsubun.” Even the oni (demons) would never have imagined that Setsubun would be used as an episode symbolizing a sad romance.
