This is the fourth single by Humbert Humbert, released in 2005.

They are a male-female duo—Yoshinari Sato and Yuho Sano—who perform as a married couple, and their gentle vocals leave a strong impression.

The lyrics of this song are structured as a dialogue between “you” and “I,” and its message—being by each other’s side even when apart—tenderly wraps the anxieties of spring in warmth.

This song portrays the moment when an adult man and woman part ways.

The atmosphere of broaching the final goodbye and the heart that can’t quite turn cold feel strikingly real, and by the end, the raw vulnerability of being human is laid bare, leaving a piercing sense of sorrow.

The fact that it’s sung as a duet by the married unit Humbert Humbert adds even more depth.

Humbert Humbert is a male-female musical duo formed in 1998.

Although their surnames are listed differently on their website and elsewhere, the two are married.

The song in the video is included on their ninth album, “Kazoku Koshinkyoku” (Family March), released in 2017.

Is it in front of a grave? I can picture a scene of them offering incense, pressing their hands together, and sharing how their family is doing now.
