Triggered by the scents of autumn, this song tells a bittersweet story that recalls parting with someone dear.

Created by Kujira—also known as a Vocaloid producer—and featuring singer Ado, it delicately traces the protagonist’s helpless emotions as they struggle to regain peace, set against an urban, chill electronic sound.

Ado’s voice, blending hardness and clarity, sharpens that cool, lingering pain.

Released in December 2019, the track was later included on the album “Nerenai Yoru ni Curtain wo Akete” (“Open the Curtain on Sleepless Nights”).

It was also added to a popular rhythm game, and continues to be widely listened to.

It’s perfect for those long autumn nights when you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood.

Released in February 2023, the song was chosen as the theme for the drama “My Beautiful Man” Season 2 and the film “My Beautiful Man: eternal.” Despite its upbeat, pleasant rhythm, the lyrics—depicting clumsy yet straightforward love—leave a strong impression.

The portrayal of that frustrating emotion—putting on a brave face while secretly yearning to be loved—tightens the chest.

It’s a song I’d recommend for long autumn nights to those who want to sink into a sentimental mood.
