the flagOda Kazumasa
I can picture two friends who have reunited as adults reminiscing about their old memories.
It expresses a sorrowful anger at not knowing what to do with the self that has become tainted through various experiences in adulthood, having forgotten the pure feelings of childhood.
I also sensed an eternal longing for youth.
The Boysshōjo jidai
Anyway, it’s an incredibly cool track—powerful and beautiful.
There’s a Japanese version, but I find the original much more charming.
The choreography features Rino Nakasone, well-known from Girls’ Generation, and the result is unsurprisingly top-notch.
The rap that starts with Yoona and Jessica’s soaring high notes near the end are stunning, making this a masterfully structured classic.
ZANGETSU -Transient Moon-Morishita Ryou
This is a work by Ryo Morishita, sung by Megurine Luka.
A version by Nekomura Iroha was later uploaded as well.
It tells of a courtesan who thinks of a samurai who fled as far as Goryōkaku, gazing up at the night sky and looking at the moon.
Beyond its narrative quality, the lyrics make extensive use of historical kana orthography, letting you fully savor a traditional Japanese atmosphere.
Pomegranate fruitUeda Marie
When you hear “pomegranate fruit,” can you picture what it’s like? If you split it open, you’ll find it filled with many little seeds, and eating those is what a pomegranate is all about.
This song is like that pomegranate—gently picking up the memories inside me one by one.
The End Of The WorldMakihara Noriyuki
A love song by Noriyuki Makihara, also known as Makky.
The word “rain” isn’t in the title, but it appears repeatedly in the chorus.
Although it’s called a love song, it’s not about an ordinary romance.
Once you realize what it really means, it becomes an achingly bittersweet love song.
It’s the ninth track on the 1996 album “UNDERWEAR.”
