Usually known for their upbeat numbers, the sisters of CHARAN-PO-RANTAN slow it down in their song ‘Kanashimi‘. With the song’s title meaning sadness, you can hear and see the weight of it in the reflective mood of it’s PV. Travelling through the city and country side by bus, lead singer Momo looks very forlorn well delivering her lines; while we can hear Koharu providing her usual accordion accompaniment to the song. CHARAN-PO-RATAN received some with the arrangement of the song; a combined effort of Koharu and the touring members of the band Mr.Children. Not everyone likes sad songs, but ‘Kanashimi‘ is one you’ll want to check out.
