This song is about adult love that gently envelops the person you love. It features chilled tracks and emotional lyrics that express the feeling of “love” overflowing with “used clothing” in the same way as “Obsessed”, and is a song with all English lyrics, just like “Obsessed.”

We also have released artwork that is typical of Ayumu Imazu, which gives off a sense of vintage clothing. Starting today, advance reservations for streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music have also started.

[Ayumu Imazu Comments]

I love going thrifting and most of my clothes are thrifted.

I had this thought that thrifting is kind of similar to love. It’s like passing on the love someone else gave you to a new person. It’s not new—it’s love t hat’s been wanted, with scars and wraples. That’s what inspired me to write this Song.

I love second-hand clothes, and most of my casual clothes are second-hand, but while I was shopping, I suddenly realized that when someone else wears the clothes that someone else was wearing, it was similar to romance. The love you give to someone is passed down to someone else.

It’s not new, it’s a love that has scratches and wrinkles, over time. I was inspired by this idea and wrote this song.
