This song was the theme for 14-year-old Mother, which Mirai Shida starred in.
Back when I used to listen to it, there were feelings I didn’t understand yet, but now every time I hear it, the sadness and other emotions come through from the song.
It’s such a good song, isn’t it? I was so moved when he sang it for me (lol).
Youthful AmigoShūji to Akira
I was really into the unit that teamed up for Nobuta wo Produce back then.
At the time I liked Kamenashi-kun, so I watched it all the time, and when we sang it at karaoke, my friends and I would often dance to the chorus part (lol).
The rhythm is great, too.

This song was insanely popular.
I feel like it was playing somewhere every single day (lol).
When it first started trending, there wasn’t a day I didn’t hear it.
Now it seems like it’s not played at all…
It was a big deal on TV and such.
PreciousItō Yuna
It’s a beautiful song and I think it’s good, but I’ve never seriously listened to it from start to finish, so I only knew the chorus—and even then, only part of it (lol).
It’s the kind of song where the melody is a bit hard to grasp, so unless you really listen to it a lot, it’s tough to sing.
In the Morning of DeterminationAqua Timez
I’ve never seriously listened to the full song, but the chorus is easy to remember, and when it’s playing on the street or on TV I end up singing along.
Since I don’t know the other parts, I often just sang the chorus (lol).
I do like the lyrics there, though.
