Ai o Kurae

"Ai o Kurae" (愛をくらえ, lit. "Get Love") is the 14th single by Japanese rock band Superfly and the first single released after the band's "Mind Traveller" tour. Both of the song's two tracks are used as theme music for the 2011 film adaptation of the manga Smuggler. The DVD edition of the single features footage of Superfly's live concert at the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse which was to promote the release of the band's third album Mind Travel.[1][2][3] Superfly has stated that "Ai o Kurae" is a return to the band's old style.[4] It ultimately peaked at number 3 on the Oricon Weekly Charts, the highest ranking on the Oricon Singles Chart yet for Superfly (the previous release "Wildflower & Cover Songs: Complete Best 'Track 3'" reached number 1 on the Albums Charts, despite being called a single by the band).

gollark: Anyway, people have seemingly been mostly willing to engage in obeying lockdown when there was a clearish danger and it seemed like a temporary onetime thing.
gollark: Congratulations, you handed power over to the test designers?
gollark: Also, the more times they end up doing them the less willing people will be to actually abide by the rules.
gollark: Doing lockdowns has quite a wide range of problematic knock-on effects and should be avoided if possible.
gollark: Not that the government seems competent enough to manage it sensibly.
