That bittersweet feeling is woven into this song.
Tokyo Summer Session feat. CHiCOHONEY WORKS
Set against the backdrop of a summer festival, the story unfolds through the differing views on love of six individuals as they navigate romantic mind games.
They like each other, but both are still too hesitant to make a move; through the event of “fireworks,” each becomes aware of their own feelings and is able to convey them to the other.
It’s a lovely story.
The song is very cute, capturing a pure, innocent high-school vibe.
Just listening to it makes you excited for the fireworks festival!
