This is one of Ayaka’s signature songs, the track that suddenly boosted her popularity.

The lyrics about a lover you can’t meet are very heartrending.

Yet even within that sadness, the way the protagonist tries to keep going, inspired by words their lover once said, makes you want to root for them.

At the same time, by overlapping the protagonist’s situation with your own, you may find yourself feeling motivated to keep trying as well.

It evokes the beginning and end of a relationship, and I think many men will relate because her specific traits and lines feel so real.

It may be too late to realize it after losing her, but this is a song I recommend for those times when you want to cry just for today so you can face forward.
