At the very least, he hopes the time they spent together will be part of her happiness.

Even though the song is so heartrending, the vocalist’s voice strikes a really good balance.

The two of them decided to walk separately so they could each follow their own path.

It’s not a negative breakup by any means, but that’s exactly why it feels lonely and painful.

Those feelings are portrayed very well.

If you listen while imagining what might happen to them afterward, you’ll find the ending heartwarming.

I like him, but I can’t make it work with the path I’ve chosen… Maybe there are other female college students job hunting who feel the same way.

It’s a song that expresses the frustration and inner conflict of not being able to have two precious things at the same time.

“Koi-Oto to Amazora” is AAA’s 38th single.

It’s a song that gently sings of overflowing feelings of love.

This is a song I’d recommend to anyone who has.

Even if we can’t meet, I’ll end up loving you anyway.

What are the chances of meeting someone who makes you feel that way? It became widely known as the theme song for the sensationally themed drama “14-year-old Mother.”
