HarukaYOASOBI

YOASOBI 'Haruka' Official Music Video
HarukaYOASOBI

YOASOBI, who creates music based on stories, released this song in 2020, adapted from Osamu Suzuki’s novel “Tsuki-Ouji” (Moon Prince).

The theme is a story depicting the encounter and parting between a girl named Haruka and a mug called Moon Prince—unique because one of the protagonists isn’t human.

The mug has always watched over her through life’s turning points—school, getting a job, marriage.

It’s a special relationship that is neither family, nor friend, nor lover.

That’s precisely why it’s a love song everyone can relate to.

Enjoy listening with that background in mind.

This song was written as the theme for the 2022 film “Haw,” which portrays the bond between a dog and a human.

The way it starts with a little throat-clearing feels like a touch of shyness is baked in, making it come across as very real, doesn’t it? The honest, gentle words addressed to a friend may remind everyone of the importance and love of those who are always by our side.

RPGSEKAI NO OWARI

It’s a lovely song with a marching band vibe.

It’s the fourth single released in 2013 by the four-member mixed-gender band SEKAI NO OWARI.
