We’re Officially a Couple! feat. Sara HoshikawaHONEY WORKS
The opening number of the album “Confession Executive Committee -FLYING SONGS- Koi Shiteru,” released on August 13, 2022, is “Uchira, Koibito Sengen! feat.
Sara Hoshikawa.” It features Sara Hoshikawa, who is active as a “Charu” Liver, and it’s a track notable for its cute vocals.
The melody moves quickly and intricately, making the pitches hard to catch, but because the vocal range is narrow, it becomes easy to sing once you memorize it well before attempting.
It’s a pop, upbeat tune that we hope you’ll sing at karaoke while keeping the original vibe in mind.
