‘Sora to Ao,’ which was used as the theme song for the 2021 drama ‘My Daughter Can’t Get a Boyfriend!!.’ In the drama, the theme was sung by singer-songwriter Leo Ieiri.

It has a charm that’s different from Ieiri’s version, doesn’t it? It’s a perfect track to listen to under the vast, clear blue skies of spring.
