I don't know why.. but this makes me longing for the old coffee shop near my house that I used to always visit for their delicious cheese cake after a full day in campus. Chilling there, borrowing some antique books in their shelf, watching people ordering manual brews or lattes and having casual conversations with the busy afternoon traffic in the background was always a treat for a sight to me. Now their shop is replaced by--say, unable to compete with modern cafes that serve sweet drinks such contemporary coffee-milk and chocolate ice-blend with lots of sugar. I wish I could've come to the shop a couple more times just to treasure it.
I just found out Tofubeats at the end of 2019 ... and all of the Tofubeats songs are good to hear ... and I didn't know that this song existed 5 years ago ... Finding Tofubeats looks like a treasure to me ... and to be honest the Tofubeats version is more can make me relax than this version .. no offense
Japanese are masters at folding stuff. I really love the deceptively cool/sly phrasing of this singer. Musical vocal phrasing, not lyrics. No idea what she is saying.
-we need a video for this cool song -ok, do you have any special skills -none besides folding clothes... -we can't get away with that! it's too conceptual! -we are Japanese tho'! : this video
