Full-moon nightMakihara Noriyuki
It’s a poignant song about a man staring at the full moon, torn over whether to tell his girlfriend he wants to break up.
It’s included on the 1991 album “With Whom Do You Share Your Happy Yawn?”.
Although he has a girlfriend, he’s involved with another woman, and his feelings have completely drifted away from his girlfriend.
Even so, he doesn’t want to break his promises to her or make her unhappy.
From the woman’s perspective it seems selfish, but perhaps because of the delicate beauty of the sound and Noriyuki Makihara’s voice, you end up wanting to tell the man, “It’s okay, you can go.”
