The Asian Connection: Sweet Drops


Original video located here. Accessed 8th April 2020

Song title: Sweet Drops

Artist: PUFFY

Year: 2011

Why I like this song:

Lately I have been watching the anime Usagi Drop (not much else to do when you're in lockdown) and finding much to my liking. 
I'm also finding the opening quite cute - even though as I listen to it, I can't help but be reminded of the Clash's Rudie Can't Fail.
"How you get a rude and a reckless?"
