A song title that sounds like something from an izakaya menu.

Despite the appetizing title, it portrays a heartbreaking breakup.

It’s about someone I like who always walks home with me—yet they never notice my feelings.

The song sets that painful unrequited love to a catchy melody.

Flutter and fall apartEZFG

Maihira Chiru – EZFG feat. RIME [Original MV]

Speaking of spring, it’s the season when cherry blossoms bloom and then fall.

That’s why I’d like to introduce “Maihira Chiru.” This is a song released by EZFG, and it portrays the scene of petals fluttering and scattering.

Another highlight is how it layers the fleeting nature of falling blossoms with feelings like loneliness and unease.

Since spring is a season full of farewells, such as graduations, you may find it especially easy to get emotionally absorbed.

Please enjoy it together with the music video, which features visuals that use flower petals as a motif.

This track by Vocaloid producer Yurumayu was released in December 2022.

It’s a mid-tempo electronic tune, with mallet tones panned left and right that linger in your ears.

Kagamine Len’s calm vocals pierce the heart, and the lyrics, imbued with loneliness, really sink in.

If you’ve just gone through a breakup, it might hit especially hard.

Be sure to listen while focusing on the beauty of each and every sound.
