Song of Shyness ~I’d be happy if you could relate~Abe Mao
Rather than the meaning of life, it’s a song that shows, through examples, what it means to “live.” Even if you think you’ll manage on your own in your heart, you can’t lie about the feeling that, in the end, you’re waiting for someone.
Don’t try to do it all alone.
You are not alone.
