Whisper Whisper WhisperAzari
Azari, who has produced many songs with a dark worldview.
The piece he created using flower and Kaai Yuki is “Whisper Whisper Whisper.” Throughout the song, words reminiscent of the Bible are used to depict forbidden relationships and feelings of guilt.
The lyrics are rich in metaphor, so your imagination will expand as you listen.
Also, pay attention to whether flower and Kaai Yuki are singing from the perspectives of different people or portraying two sides of the same person.
