This is a poignant ballad that overlays feelings for an unattainable person—and emotions that can neither move forward nor turn back—onto the colors of a traffic light.

It was released in September 2021 as the 21st single.

Since it was written as the theme song for ABEMA’s dating show “Koi to Ookami ni wa Damasarenai” (Don’t Be Fooled by the Wolf), many of you have probably heard it.

It was later included on the album “Humor.” The delicate nuances of a heart that becomes unable to act the more it longs for someone—so vividly portrayed by Iyori Shimizu—come through with aching clarity.

Takeshi Kobayashi also participated in the arrangement, and the tender, beautiful sound is truly heart-wrenching.

When you feel left behind, listening to it will gently stay by your side.

On nights when you’re timid about love, why not soak in it quietly, alone?
