Looks like "Weathernews Live" has taken on a new segment in its broadcasts. I'm not sure whether it's on the hour or the half-hour, but since the new fiscal year has come on, the folks there have been introducing full J-Pop songs. Maybe the casters are getting a little extra breather time since they've gotta do their 3-hour shifts.
One song that caught my ears yesterday for the first time on "Weathernews Live" was by the female rock band SHISHAMO. I haven't written about them for a few years so it was nice hearing them again with a seasonal if bittersweet tune called "Haru ni Mayoikonde" (Lost in Spring). Released as their 8th digital single in March 2022, vocalist Asako Miyazaki（宮崎朝子）wrote and composed "Haru ni Mayoikonde" as a story of loss on two fronts. A young lady has lost her love and most likely her direction in life (hopefully, only temporarily). The music video above pretty much says it.
Happily for Miyazaki, truth didn't follow fiction. She got married last June. I'm assuming that her husband is well aware of her favourite foods which include tender shrimp, egg yolks and macarons (not all together, I hope).
