I think the appeal of yonige’s lyrics lies in how candid they are—they’re not just pretty words.
The lines “Hey, did you know? Honest people are just fools.
Despair, you see, is a promise you make to become an adult” feel convincing precisely because it’s yonige singing them.

A spring song with a quiet, smoldering heat by a two-woman rock band from Osaka.
It captures a unique atmosphere where everyday calm and unease intermingle, and Arisa Ushimaru’s unadorned words pierce the heart.
Included on the mini-album “HOUSE,” released in October 2018, this track’s slow tempo lets you fully immerse yourself in its world.
It was also performed near the end of the main set at their 2019 Nippon Budokan show, and has long been loved by fans as a key part of their live repertoire.
Rather than flashy shifts, its understated, steady performance resonates comfortably—perfect for a slightly ennui-tinged spring day.

Arisa Ushimaru, the guitarist and vocalist, writes something called the Ushimaru Diary, and she wrote about this song there.
