Released in March 2007, the song resonated with many and was later included on the album “CAN’T BUY MY LOVE.” It was also used as the ending theme for the anime “ReLIFE: Final Arc.” It’s a perfect cheer song for those experiencing their first love in a new environment, or for anyone ready to take a new step forward with the arrival of spring.

A ballad that poignantly portrays an unrequited love, set to the aching timbre of a piano.

This is a poignant song by [Alexandros] that depicts the moment the protagonist—who had kept a distance from others and avoided crowds—falls into a fateful love.

So absorbed in the blissful time with a cherished person, they become oblivious to the eyes around them.

Even so, the pure resolve to go and meet “you” is deeply moving.

Included on the album “Me No Do Karate.” released in January 2013, it drew attention as the other A-side to the single “Starrrrrrr.” It’s a song that gently encourages those who, though bewildered by meeting their destined person, are trying to look ahead and keep moving forward.
