Ms. Hanako on a high pedestalback number
Back Number’s 2013 track “Takane no Hanako-san” will likely resonate with anyone who’s ever fallen for the school’s Madonna-like girl or had a crush on an older woman in the neighborhood.
It captures that inner monologue of pining—agonizing over whether there’s any chance at all with someone who feels out of your league.
When it comes to falling for someone everyone likes, it’s easy to give up and think it’ll never work out, but once you’re in love, that little voice that says “Please let this work out!” just won’t stop.
Give it a listen while thinking of that older person you admire.

At the very least, she wants to show a strong self at the moment of parting—truly her last pride.
Women who’ve broken up with an older boyfriend will surely relate.
