∟Comment from 7co
When I first read the story, I seriously found myself wishing there was a way to go back to being a student again.
I'm so obsessed with Tani's cat Tempura that I'm pretty sure every demo I made had "Tempura" in the lyrics somewhere.
While recording, I pictured Suzuki in my mind and sang with a tone that was a bit different from my usual voice.
The fluttery feeling of first love, the kind of youth that quietly blends into everyday life... I tried to express all of that through a simple nekojarashi (foxtail plant) you'd find growing anywhere.
I'd be honored if this song adds a little depth to the characters' emotions.
