Kaze-gusu LyricNegicco
The quality of the song is so good you wouldn’t believe it was made for a cold medicine.
And guess what—the lyrics and composition are by none other than Hyadain.
It’s catchy—really impactful, you might say—and the chorus sticks in your head so much that you’ll find yourself humming it over and over.
The “cold-related clichés” angle in the lyrics is funny too, right? The performers are Negicco—by the way, do you know about local idols? You could even say that groups like NMB48 and HKT48 are, in a sense, regionally rooted local idols.
Negicco are pioneers of that local idol scene.
Definitely keep an eye on what they do next!
