Hanaregumi -- Shinkokyuu(深呼吸)

 


Really needed and still need some deep breaths right now. A few hours ago, I had a meltdown involving some people and how they act, and how I've had to endure it. Their responses exacerbated my mood further and I don't expect them to change nor feel apologetic; it's simply not their way.

"Shinkokyuu" (Deep Breaths) is a pop ballad by Hanaregumi(ハナレグミ)which served as his 5th and final CD single thus far released in May 2016 (since then, his singles have all been digital). Written and composed by the singer-songwriter, the lyrics seem to be telling a story of a young man remembering but not dwelling on his old self from yesteryear while taking those next steps into the future. The music video is similarly wistful and maybe I'm mistaken here, but it looks like the central character meets his future and past selves while looking for his lost dog. "Shinkokyuu" managed to reach No. 37 on Oricon.
