These Days

A poignant number by day after tomorrow that was selected as the ending theme for the variety show “Miracle Experience! Unbelievable.” Its heartrending melody blends beautifully with glittering digital sounds, tightening my chest every time I listen.

The lyrics evoke after-school classrooms and twilight cityscapes, conveying feelings for the friends who have grown up and gone their separate ways, while misono’s soaring vocals further heighten the nostalgia.

It was also included on the triple A-side single “moon gate,” released in September 2003, as well as the album “primary colors.”

It’s a hidden gem by day after tomorrow, included on the album “day alone,” released in March 2005.
