Harenchi, Part 2
The second half of Harenchi turns to self-worth and memory: the self-made confidence of "Period", the autobiography of "imagination", the slow dance of "DISTANCE", a quiet morning at home, the beauty-standard anthem "BIJIN" (美人), and a love compared to fireworks. The vocabulary is about growing up, talent and confidence, loneliness, and remembering someone.
