Tell me why!
Why you look so jaded like you're dead!
Never say!
Never pretend that you're alright! So,

Tell me why!
Why you look so jaded like you're dead!
Never say!
Never pretend that you're alright!

ao no heya ni kagi wo kakete
tojikomotta(tell me why... and never say!)

kakushita kokoro

@Caleb_Doggett

How are they underrated?
They literally defined what we know and paved the way of Melodic metal in the Touhou Doujin scene. This band influenced so many bands that everytime another one comes out with a Female clean and male harsh, someone says they're trying to copy FG.

@iconic410

@@Caleb_DoggettIf you live in any other country other than japan, and maybe some other asian countries, the most popular songs will be hip hop and taylor swift. This is coming from my little knowledge of music though, but I think for someone living outside these countries, this music would be rarely listened to in most social circles, so they feel like the music is underrated. It still is underrated. The whole world should know the beauty of foreground eclipse's music.
