Song Synopsis

Although the title is Lovers, but this song’s lyrics itself talk about friendship. the songwriter interprets the problems of life in it as someone who is sad because he is going through a difficult time but she gets rumors about herself that is not good from people around him.

 Luckily, the main person has a friend who always supports the main person regardless of his condition and invite the character to wipe away tears and walk towards the future together.

The Other Side of this Song

Besides the touching and motivating lyrics, this song was chosen as the opening of one of the best anime ever, namely Naruto Shippuden. became the ninth opening to air from episodes 206 to 230 of the anime. In addition, this song is the band's second single and you can see the music video for this song on YouTube, which has reached around 65 million viewers.

The reason I like this song is because of the tempo of the song is uplifting. Which makes me excited to do something when I listen to it. besides that, the meaning of the lyrics of the song is motivate me, when I feel down, there must be one friend who will encourage me to go back to chasing my dreams, lastly, this song always reminds me of Naruto Shippuden

Band Biography

The band was formed in 2004 as a band of 2 men (Keita as bassist, Michiru as guitarist) and 2 women (Nanae as vocalist, Maiko as drummer) . 7!! (read: Seven oops) comes from the name of their vocalist, namely "NANAE" which in Japanese "Nana means seven" and "E is Ehh!!", if translated in English it becomes seven and oops.

The songs released by Seven Oops are often used as the opening or ending of several anime, including Naruto Shippuden and Your Lie in April. Recently, the song "Orange" which is the ending of the anime Your Lie in April is very often used as a touching video background on the TIKTOK. 

Seven oops was invited to the Asian anime festival (AFA) which was held in September 2012 at the Jakarta International Expo. This event was the first time Seven Oops performs outside of Japan.
