This song is…

You know it?

This song is my goal.
/ I want to write music like this,
music that can cheer the hearts of girls everywhere.

You know a lot about this band?
Huh? Well, umm…

There was a year and a half
/ when I never went outside…

That whole time, I listened to this song
again and again and again…

p5: ====================================
Honestly, at the time, I wanted nothing more than to find out more about the band.
However,
/ I couldn’t, because… I just couldn’t.

[sfx]: Squeeze

By the time I got outside,
by the time I started chasing after the band…
They’d already broken up.

So even though I keep saying I love their work,
/ I don’t even know what any of the band members look like.
Heh heh…

/ And the song is just…!! Why in the world did they break up?!

Well…

Fuuka…!!

Do you two know about the band?!
Please, I’d love to hear about them!!
