Why clammbon decided to name this song after my home town, I’ll never know. It suggests they’ve been there, which makes me wish I’d known they were coming to visit so I could offer to show them around. :D There are three versions of this song: the perky single version seen in the music video, the slower version on the album (subtitled yamiagari, “convalescence”), and Re-Re-Chicago, on the second Re-clammbon album.
