The last time I posted something on the band fhana was back in the middle of 2021 when I happily noted the opening theme for the second season of "Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon"（小林さんちのメイドラゴン...Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid）, "Ai no Supreme!"（愛のシュプリーム！）. Right from the snazzy opening credits, it was a loud and proud declaration that Kyoto Animation was back up and running after its own horrible tragedy a couple of years previously.
Well, I'm going back a little further in fhana's discography...in fact, all the way back to their debut single "Que Sera Sera"（ケセラセラ）from August 2013. Indeed, it's been considered to be the perfectly-fitting ending theme for the anime "Uchoten Kazoku"（有頂天家族） and I can agree with that wholeheartedly. I used to hear this all the time during anison hour at my friend's place since he was also a fhana fan.
Another song that got played during anison hour was the coupling tune to "Que Sera Sera", "Kimi to Iu Tokuiten" (Singular You). With those strings in the intro, I'd wondered if this would be a modern-day Fashion Music tune, something that I'd talked about yesterday for one article, but as it was, the rest of the song was good ol' pop. At the time, I hadn't known that "Kimi to Iu Tokuiten" was the coupling song but with those repeated playings, it's become a rent-free resident in my memories.
I remember your post about the 小林さんちのメイドラゴン...Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. Maybe you had more than one because I thought there was one more recent than 2021. I know I started watching the show on HULU.jp after you mentioned it. Okay, anyway, it is nice to hear and see Fhana in the videos. They do seem rather charismatic, and I can see that one the members has a MacBook with a light-up Apple on the back, too.
ReplyDeleteThere was one special that was added onto the Blu-Ray or DVD for that second season in which Kana's American friend comes to visit Japan. I heard from my anime buddy that a movie is perhaps in the works.
