This is a poignant song that portrays the cold of winter and a sense of solitude.
Through small everyday moments, it expresses a deep bond with a loved one.
It’s striking how seemingly trivial words and actions—like forgetting a scarf or holding roasted green tea in the right hand—symbolize a profound mutual understanding.
Amid the chilly air of December, the repeated farewell, “See you again,” leaves a faint, bittersweet feeling.
Released by TRACK15 in March 2024, this song is included on their first mini-album, “bouquet.” It’s a perfect track to listen to on a winter night while remembering someone dear.

The person you picture as your loved one—family, a partner, and so on—will differ from person to person.
Still, the emotions for a loved one depicted in this song, and the strong longing to see them again, are sure to move anyone’s heart.
While there aren’t many specifically wintry images, the overall mood of the song is perfect for winter.
A bittersweet yet deeply moving track I highly recommend.
