A song where Noriyuki Makihara’s vocals resonate with the heart.

It served as the theme for the NTV drama “After the Children Go to Bed.” While carrying the pain of heartbreak, it expresses the resolve to step toward a new love.

Through small everyday moments, it depicts the loneliness and inconveniences after a breakup, and the way the protagonist gradually turns inward is striking.

Contrary to the title, you can glimpse a lingering inability to give up on love.

Released in June 1992, the single shipped approximately 1.5 million copies.

It’s a song that stays by your side when you want to overcome the pain of heartbreak and take a new step forward.

Cheer up!Takeuchi Mariya

I remember when we broke up, my friend sang for me at karaoke.

I didn’t want to show my weakness, but I burst into tears from the very first line.

The sound of the acoustic guitar also lightened my heart.

This is the song that encouraged me, reminding me that love isn’t the only thing in life.

It’s an upbeat breakup song.

I think the vocals reflect how she felt at the time.

In the media, it was touted as Tomo-chan’s precious voice while she was heartbroken after breaking up with TK.

In a way, I think it became a landmark release.

I’m sure many people became fans of Tomo-chan because of this track.

As I wrote earlier, her voice sounds a bit like a Vocaloid, but I think the song really conveys her mindset back then.
