The project posted the following comment on "Futari-bun" on its official website : The song “Futari-bun” was born from the space between the joy of loving and the frustration of not being able to give everything. Like a pudding secretly hidden deep in the refrigerator, the sound captures the feeling of your heart fluttering, as if your hidden feelings might suddenly be snatched away. The jacket design also subtly incorporates a “pudding” symbolizing this feeling. We hope you'll savor the story alongside the swirling emotions—sweet as melting pudding, blissful yet precariously fragile, tossed about like a roller coaster ride.
