[Official] Uru “Love Song” — Theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama series “My Fair Prince”

Singer-songwriter Uru, beloved for her translucent vocals and lyrics that tenderly trace the subtleties of the heart.

This piece, with its striking intro that begins with a piano arpeggio, resonates warmly with a refined sound that evokes slightly older Western pop.

The lyrics, which express love paradoxically by layering words of negation, seem to gently unravel a love that can’t quite be honest.

This warm ballad, which conveys the irreplaceable nature of everyday life, is one you’ll want to listen to slowly while thinking of someone dear.
