“Dry Flower” (ドライフラワー) looks back at a relationship that's over. They fought over small things, they drifted apart, and now the memories are like a dried flower: still there, still beautiful in a way, but the colour is fading. Maybe, the singer admits, she was never the one he needed.
Yuuri wrote it as a companion to his earlier song “Kakurenbo”, telling the same story from the other side. It became the most-streamed song in Japan in 2021 and a staple of karaoke.
It's slow and clearly sung, with natural, conversational Japanese. The image of the dried flower — and words like 色褪せる (to fade), 喧嘩 (a fight), 多分 (maybe) — will stay with you.
