This song is marked by a poignant melody that evokes the chill of winter.

Created by Official HIGE DANDism in October 2022 as the theme for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama series “silent,” it closely aligns with the drama’s worldview.

The work portrays the protagonist—who has lost their hearing—trying to convey their feelings to a loved one, expressed through the fragile, crystal-like beauty of snowflakes.

Its quiet, beautiful melody leaves a deep impression on listeners’ hearts, offering comfort to those facing farewells with loved ones or carrying feelings that cannot be put into words.
