Ikimono-gakari’s classic and popular songs (81–90)
Nostalgiaikimonogakari
This is a single by Ikimonogakari released in 2010.
It was a song from their indie days, and although it was re-recorded, some parts like the lyrics have been slightly changed.
I heard Yoshioka said she didn’t want to sing it because she disliked the female protagonist, who’s so wishy-washy and hung up on her ex (lol).

This is a song included on Ikimono-gakari’s album WE DO, released when they resumed activities after their “gathering” period.
Even among Ikimono-gakari’s many classic songs that depict the seasons, this one feels especially fleeting and beautiful.
As we grow up, we often lose our way, don’t we? This gentle song softly gives a nudge to those bewildered hearts.

This is a song that has existed since their indie days and was performed during their 2007 live tour.
In the live tour “Ikimonogakari no Minasan, Konnitsuaa!! 2010 Zenkoku Angya!! ~Hajimari no Uta~,” it was even played as the final encore, making it a favorite among the members.
Fans had long hoped for it to be released on CD.
It’s a ballad that’s perfect for the chilly season.
