iVy is an alternative pop duo based in and formed in 2023. Yugamu Pink is their newest single, following the release of their first album back in August of this year. The song features a stellar dreamlike music offering a vocal performance that is soft, sweet, a little forlorn, and yet also in parts somewhat optimistic. While I don’t speak Japanese, I do have a computer translation of the lyrics sheet. I am positive this translation fails to do the words justice. However, I am able to glean that the song is about regret and wanting to be with someone again, and just be happy together. I think this matches well with the mood presented by the music and perhaps even suggests that maybe a little joy can be found in yearning for what was lost.
