Have you ever been so single-minded in love that you lost sight of everything around you? You might think to yourself, “That’s not good,” but being able to feel that strongly about someone is wonderful! That kind of love story is portrayed in Saucy Dog’s song “Aa, Mou.” Released digitally in 2021, it was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Dekinai Futari.” Its pop, breezy sound is beautifully complemented by vocalist Shinya Ishihara’s expansive singing.

And the lyrics, which trace the wavering feelings of love, are sure to make your heart flutter!
