It’s “First Love,” the image song for the live-action drama Hana Nochi Hare: Hanadan Next Season starring Hana Sugisaki.

Hikaru Utada and the HanaDan franchise also collaborated in the second season of Boys Over Flowers with the song “Flavor Of Life.” While that earlier song depicted a heartrending love story, “First Love” likewise conveys the maddening emotions that come with a first love: the noisy pounding of the heart you feel for the first time, the meaning of those quiet tears that fall for no clear reason.

This song expresses the feelings of first love that everyone has experienced.
