From aiko’s album “Ima no Futari wo Otagai ga Miteru,” released in March 2023, the advance single was “Areta Kuchibiru wa Koi wo Nakusu.” It’s an upbeat number with a lavish horn section, showcasing the happy, characteristically aiko sound.

In contrast, the lyrics tell a bittersweet story of longing for a former lover, and the gap between the sound and the words makes the sadness hit even harder.
