Momentary Sixth Sense, Part 2
The second half of 瞬間的シックスセンス (2019) swings between heartbreak and restless energy. 恋をしたから gives the plain words of getting over someone (諦める, 当たり前, 辛い), 夢追いベンガル the scrappy everyday of being broke and awake too early (貯金, 暇, 目覚まし), and from 四階の角部屋 the vocabulary of regret (後悔, ため息, 言い聞かせる).
