A world without goodbyesŌhashi Torio

A world without goodbyes

A medium-tempo ballad woven from a gently soul-soothing voice and richly expressive strings.

The melody spun by Ohashi Trio seems to tell us that, while parting from someone dear is unavoidable, there is a world without “goodbyes” that spreads within our hearts, where memories continue to shine forever.

Listening to this song, some of you may have quietly pictured someone you can no longer meet.

Released in September 2022, this work colored the story as the theme song for the drama “Sayonara no Mukougawa.” Rather than overcoming the sorrow of farewell, it tenderly stays close to those who wish to embrace their goodbyes as warm memories and keep living with them.

Written by Kobuchi for his own mother, it is widely loved as a Mother’s Day song, yet it also perfectly suits farewells with someone dear, and is often chosen for send-off gatherings and graduation scenes.
