I think many people love the songs sung by the popular singer-songwriter Aimyon because her unadorned words pierce the heart.
This work is a ballad that gently stays close to a heart that has become timid about love.

The song was released in June 2020 as her 10th single and became a hot topic as the theme song for the drama “My Housekeeper Nagisa-san.” With a characteristically Aimyon, slightly nostalgic melody, it will gently embrace the pain of your struggles in love and make you feel like you can try again.
