【Vocaloid】Yumeoi-zake (Chasing-Dream Sake)【Hatsune Miku】

When you hear “a woman abandoned by her lover,” it sounds tragic, but because the melody is bright, it doesn’t feel dark at all.

If anything, that brightness may actually heighten the woman’s sadness.

To put it bluntly, if everyone harbors a desire for self-destruction, this song might be exactly that.

As I am in love…Akimoto Junko

As It Is in Love / Junko Akimoto cover by Shin

It’s a song that portrays romance among middle-aged and older adults.

Perhaps precisely because they’re at that stage of life, there are things they usually keep suppressed.

Maybe that’s why, or because they’re breaking free from it, the song feels incredibly rich and unbelievably sensual.

I think this might be the ultimate form of love.

I imagine many listeners have dreamed of experiencing this kind of mature romance at the end of their lives.

When you fall in love, you want to express your feelings in every possible way, but in the end it may all come down to wanting a child with the man you love.

It conveys a woman’s natural emotion of wanting to cast aside all pride before the one she loves and be completely bare—heart and body alike.
