Youngblood5 Seconds of Summer
5 Seconds of Summer is a band formed in Sydney, Australia.
This song was released in 2018, but many of you were probably surprised by this Japanese version of the music video, right? It’s surprising enough that it’s styled as the reminiscences of an elderly Japanese couple, but on top of that, back in the day he was a pompadoured rockabilly youth and she was a standoffish girl! What was the intention behind that?! It’s startling, but the song itself is an upbeat track about the “first-time feelings” of falling head over heels for a girl.
