Description

[Machine Translation] The summer single from the singer-songwriter unit "RYTHEM" is a lyrical, sad and fragile medium love ballad with a sense of the season, similar to "Sakura Uta", written by YUI. The lyrics were written by YUI, and the song vividly evokes the sad and passionate feelings that remain in the back of your mind even after a breakup. The sad lyrics, which compare such feelings to the fleeting yet beautiful "firefly light" that can only shine for a week, are sure to reach the hearts of everyone, regardless of generation. The arrangement was done by J-POP master Satoshi Takebe, as in "Sakura Uta". The arrangement, which highlights the piano and acoustic guitar, and the emotion-filled vocals of the two singers as they breathed during the recording, gives the song a wider worldview. The song has been chosen as the ending theme for TV Tokyo's "Fightension School"! The coupling song was written by YUKA. The lyrics, which describe realistic feelings of budding love for a male friend, are a type of love song that RYTHEM has never written before, and it is a summer classic that represents their 3rd stage! The first pressing limited edition includes a 2-disc DVD with a video clip of the title track "Hotarubi" and the making of the song.

蛍火 [DVD付初回限定盤] / RYTHEM

シンガーソングライターユニット"RYTHEM"が届ける夏シングルは、「桜唄」に引き続き季節感溢れる叙情的な切なく儚いミディアム・ラブ・バラード。YUIが作詞作曲。別れてしまってもずっと心の奥に残っている切なく熱い想いが、ふとした瞬間に鮮やかに蘇る。そんな心情を、一週間しか光る事の出来ない儚くも美しい"蛍の光"に例えた切ない歌詞は、世代を超えて誰の心にも届くはず。アレンジは「桜唄」に引き続き、J-POP界の巨匠"武部聡志"氏が担当。ピアノとアコースティックギターを際立たせたアレンジに、レコーディング時の2人の息遣いそのままの情感溢れるヴォーカルを乗せた楽曲は、この世界観をより広く感じさせてくれている。テレビ東京系『ファイテンション☆スクール』エンディングテーマに決定!! カップリングはYUKAの作詞作曲によるもの。男友達に対して芽生えてしまった恋の気持ちをリアルに綴った歌詞は、これまでのRYTHEMには無かったタイプのラブソング。RYTHEMが届ける彼女達の3rdステージを代表する夏の名曲誕生!! 初回生産限定盤は、DVD付きの2枚組(表題曲「蛍火」ビデオクリップ、メイキング収録)。
