Released in June 2013, back number’s eighth single is a popular song that portrays a bittersweet unrequited love for someone out of reach.

The protagonist is nothing more than a “friend of a friend” to the person they like, and feels frustrated by that distance.

Its charm lies in how realistically it captures the all-too-familiar psychology of unrequited love—imagining what the other person’s ideal partner might be like and sinking into gloom.

In 2019, it was featured in a Kirin Tanrei Green Label commercial, where vocalist Iyori Shimizu performed an acoustic rendition.

A fun way to enjoy this song at a drinking party is to swap the chorus line “aitai” (I want to see you) with “nomitai” (I want to drink)! Turning it into a playful parody over the wistful melody is sure to get laughs from the contrast.

Sing it after some lively love talk or when there’s a friend nursing a crush, and it’ll warm up the mood even more!
