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).

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.

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.

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.
