Quartetto

Artist

Quartetto is a Japanese rock band whose work is defined by lyrical melodies and direct, unguarded writing. Their best-known anime credit is 'Best Friend', the ending theme of 'Michiko & Hatchin', written and composed by the band themselves and arranged by Hayato Tanaka. Built around a 'more than friends, less than lovers' premise, the song's plain-spoken Japanese rock vocabulary plays in contrast with the series' South-American-tinged restlessness, giving the closing minutes of each episode an unexpectedly intimate emotional anchor.
