There are so many things in life you can’t truly understand until the moment actually comes, aren’t there? Feelings of love and gratitude toward your family can feel so ordinary that, unless something sparks it, you rarely get the chance to express them.
For anyone who feels that way, I want you to listen to this song Haruka by GReeeeN.
It also became a hit as the theme song for the film ROOKIES: Graduation.
It’s packed to the brim with the urge to say thank you to the family who always watches over you with kindness.
It’s also a perfect song for those about to leave their parents’ home.
