It vividly portrays days with treasured friends—talking about crushes, laughing at jokes only friends would get, pulling little pranks together, and having fun after school.

Precisely because you’re such close friends, parting is painful and can feel overwhelmingly lonely.

Released in December 2020, this work is based on Osamu Suzuki’s novel “Tsuki Ouji” (Moon Prince).

It has also been featured as the commercial song for Takara Tomy’s LCD care toy “Puniruns” and as the image song for “Art Aquarium 2021 — Hakata: Festival of Goldfish,” garnering support from a wide audience.

It is a song that stays close to those who have parted with a cherished memento or who are facing a farewell with someone dear.
