Ikidomari, the theme song for the film A Moon in the Flatlands, by Gen Hoshino.

The lyrics, which depict adult loss and regret—continuing to harbor feelings for someone unforgettable even while standing at a dead end—resonate deeply.
Hoshino has commented that it’s “not a song about myself, but a song that tells the story within the song in the first person,” which shows how faithfully it conveys the film’s worldview.
Please take your time and immerse yourself in its poignant afterglow.
