This work, with its beautifully resonant string melodies, overlays the chill of winter with the imagery of cherry blossoms, conveying a message that is both heartrending and powerful.
Although it was released as a single in December 2007, it had actually been performed earlier in the bonus footage of the album IMAGE and at live venues, making it a piece that fans had long hoped to see officially recorded.
The melody co-written by Shunsuke Kiyokiba and Raon Kawane sinks deeply into the heart.
In this season where partings and new departures intersect, it is a masterpiece best heard while quietly gazing up at the night cherry blossoms.

This song makes you feel that way.
Leaving home can suddenly make you feel all alone, but listening to this track gives you the strength to know you’re not by yourself.
