Fantasy Lover Yuko Ando song with TK on guitar
Fantasy Lover is a song off, Barometz, Yuko Ando's 10th music album released in 2020. During the start of Covid, TK and Yuko Ando worked on it together.
I find her voice lovely so when I became aware they collaborated a second time I looked into Fantasy Lover.
You can find a song translation I did for Fantasy Lover on my blog:
I also went ahead and did a song interpretation for Fantasy Lover. For those of you that enjoy a good, old song analysis:

Barometz Yuko Ando interview
In this interview, Yuko Ando talks about her creative process for her album Barometz of which TK provided his guitar to her Fantasy Lover.
You don't want to miss it! She refers to TK as TK-kun. I would also like to point out she is correct due to how TK plays the guitar for the song he somehow turned it into a song of his. Lovely how he flicks the guitar strings.

About Barometz
In mythology/legend [Barometz]: The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary. This is a mythical creature of Central Asia origin, believed to be a plant that grew sheep as its fruit. The sheep it was said were connected to the plant by an umbilical cord and grazed the land around it.
Cibotium barometz is the scientific name for a real fern, also known as the golden chicken fern or woolly fern. The furry brown hairs covering its rhizomes (underground stem) sort of resemble lamb's wool, which may have inspired the vegetable lamb legend.
