Love’s Melody and Rainy SkiesAAA

AAA / “Love Sound and Rainy Sky” Music Video

I wish I could just tell them how I feel, but I can’t… White Day is an event that gives a gentle push to people who are a little inexperienced in love.

This song, “Koi Oto to Amazora,” speaks for those “I like you but can’t say it” feelings.

Be sure to watch AAA’s restrained yet expressive dancing, too.

Compared to other artists, AAA didn’t appear in the media very often.

And yet they still earned such overwhelming support… which makes their hiatus all the more regrettable.
