Here’s a quick one; a nice simple sweet song in 瀬戸内の妹 (setouchi no imouto / Little Sister of Setouchi), from STU48’s just-released single 無謀な夢は覚めることがない (mubou na yume wa sameru koto ga nai / A Reckless Dream You Won’t Wake From) [Type-C]. A parent-y sort of song, actually, but I suppose got it at just the right time.
I’ve been laid-up sick and so a new slow, soothing melody with some fairly straightforward lyrics hit the spot. A classic “seeing your newly-married daughter off” story makes a good fit for the STU nautical theme, along with just a little hometown nostalgia.
The first few times through I could swear I heard Okada Nana’s voice in there, but it’s actually an interesting mix of top 1st gen members. Seems to be based on some sort of tie-up with a bridal salon, though I guess I’ve missed the advertisements.
Feeling a little better about these lyric subs for the moment; hopefully this format will work going forward.
