The day we stopped being loversYuuri

Yuri “The Day We Stopped Being Lovers” Official Music Video

Released as a digital-only single in February 2023, it was also included on the album “II,” which came out in March of the same year.

Judging by the title alone, you might assume this is a breakup song, but the lyrics actually feature two different “days we stopped being lovers.” The first is the day they broke up, which is what most people would imagine.

The couple in the song does part ways once.

However, they can’t forget each other, and when they meet again, they get back together.

Determined not to be alone this time, a proposal follows, and they become husband and wife—this is the second “day they stopped being lovers.” It’s a truly lovely story, and I imagine many readers were deeply moved by the lyrics.
