I love youFumido

A unique worldview that inevitably makes you think, “This is definitely Fuumidou.” Meanings in the lyrics that you only understand once you’ve grown a little older.

Things you realize only after deciding to say goodbye.

And the fact that you can’t go back anymore.

That there are feelings you can express only through song.

Everything is, in any case, sorrowful and beautiful.

Meguro Rivermiwa

The acoustic version is very mellow, while the original version is pop in a good way.

A song with that much realism.

Singer-songwriter Anbo Sakaguchi, who aspired to be a musician in elementary school and even worked as a radio DJ in high school.

Her 6th single “URL,” chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime Horimiya -piece-, is delightful with its cute vocals and pop ensemble.

The lyrics tell the story of wanting to be able to go see the person you like right away, a feeling that resonates even more strongly thanks to the instantly imaginable phrase “URL,” especially for younger generations.

It’s an emotional number that brilliantly contrasts a timeless, universal longing for love with contemporary imagery.
