I’ll be by your side.Aoyama Teruma ft. SoulJa
“Soba ni Iru ne” is Thelma Aoyama’s second single, released in 2008.
Even when you believe your hearts are connected despite being far apart, not being able to meet is still lonely.
But the other person feels the same way, and there’s a big difference between expressing that and not.
That’s why this song shows how important it is to say, “It’s okay—though we’re apart, my heart is by your side.”
