Hachi – Donut Hole, HACHI – DONUT HOLE

A song by Hachi, who is also highly active under the singer-songwriter name Kenshi Yonezu.

It likens the hole of a donut to the hole that has opened up in one’s heart.

Still, the lyrics convey that the protagonist accepts even the hole left by the loss as something they received from that person.
