<Miina comments
Hello, Japan. My name is Miina Okabe. I am very, very excited that my song "Every Second (Japanese Version)" will be used in the anime series of "Hananoi-kun to Koi no Sickness" and I can't wait to see it on air. I wrote "Every Second" with the hope that through my own experience of being anxious at the time about how the future would affect me and how I would feel, I would be reminded of how wonderful it is to have loved ones and to live in the present. I hope everyone will check it out.

The music video for "Every Second (Japanese Version)" has also been released. The music video is composed of rare footage recorded during Miina's visit to Japan last year, including behind-the-scenes footage of the recording of "Every Second (Japanese Version)" and scenes from her stay in Japan.

This small incident led to Hananoi-kun's public confession later in the day, "Please go out with me.
What does it mean to "love"? What does it mean to be in love? Hotaru is perplexed by the sudden confession, while Hananoi-kun is willing to do anything for the girl he loves. Hananoi-kun's love is boundless.
A first love story of a girl who doesn't know what love is x a boy whose love is too heavy.
