This song gently embraces the emotions of a long-distance relationship, carrying a bittersweet yet forward-looking sentiment.

Even when lovers are physically apart, their hearts remain close—an emotion expressed with exquisite balance through Thelma Aoyama’s soft vocals and SoulJa’s rap.

This song is marked by a poignant melody that evokes the chill of winter.

Created by Official HIGE DANDism in October 2022 as the theme for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama series “silent,” it closely aligns with the drama’s worldview.
