A number overflowing with the kind of rustic simplicity that’s so quintessentially BUMP, vividly conjuring an October sunset.

It’s the B-side to the single “Namida no Furusato” and a hidden gem.

It’s also a love song about feelings for someone precious, carrying the message: “Please cherish the heart that finds things beautiful.” The emotion you feel when you witness something beautiful is overwhelming, isn’t it? They say that when Fujiwara fell into such a slump that he couldn’t write songs, what saved him was the “crimson sky.” These days, the moments when we can truly feel autumn seem to be dwindling year by year, but I want to keep feeling the beauty of the season by singing “Makka na Sora wo Mita Darouka.”
