This song by Saucy Dog portrays growth through love while looking back on past memories.

Using the word “kusege” (naturally wavy or unruly hair) as a motif, it delicately expresses personal change and growth brought about by love.

It begins with a scene of rereading a dust-covered diary, then follows the self that changes after meeting someone, and the lingering feelings for a precious person that remain even as time passes.

Written as the theme song for the drama “My Diary,” starring Kaya Kiyohara, this warm track offers comfort both to those who fondly remember past romances and to those who are in love right now.
