A passionate number that expresses a resolve to actively pour out love rather than remain passive.

Its catchy, flowing melody and the bittersweet yet powerful vocals of Koichi Domoto and Tsuyoshi Domoto really strike a chord, don’t they? The track was released as a single in November 1997.

It was used as the theme song for the NTV drama “Bokura no Yuuki: Miman City,” in which the two starred, and it became a massive hit, selling over 1.6 million copies in total.

One of its charms is the sound design that perfectly matches the drama’s world of anxiety, loneliness, and the bonds of friendship.

Because it captures the wavering emotions of youth, it’s recommended for times when you want to reflect on faint memories of the past or convey straightforward feelings to someone important.

For those who watched the drama, it’s a nostalgic track that revives the passion of that time!

Gentle piano and strings evoke a snowy season, delicately portraying single‑minded feelings for a loved one and the anxieties that arise precisely because of happiness.

The song is also known for a structure that makes harmonizing easy in karaoke, and after the group changed its name, it was re-released in December 2025 with a new arrangement and expanded lyrics.

It’s a perfect track for those who want to slowly savor a warm resonance that nestles close to the hearts of two people spending a winter night together.
