The single sold a total of 2 million copies, making it the biggest hit among SPEED’s songs.

Released in January 2025 and included on the EP “Bluem,” the song also drew attention for its music video featuring model Suzuka Orita and actor Yusei Ito.
With a melody that sinks into the heart, it portrays memories of happy days and the fragile story of a love that ends in parting.

In contrast, the lyrics tell a bittersweet story of longing for a former lover, and the gap between the sound and the words makes the sadness hit even harder.
