People of the pastHY
The person who was supposed to vow eternity with you has gone on to find happiness without you.
This HY song captures that bittersweet reality.
Even though you’ve decided to “fall in love with someone else,” you still find yourself drifting into “what ifs” in quiet moments, clinging to the hope that maybe you could still go back.
Many of us have been there.
The track was included on the album GLOCAL, released in February 2014, and was performed on a nationwide tour covering 22 locations that same year.
When you’ve been through a divorce and your ex-partner’s happiness unsettles you, the harder you try to forget, the more vivid the memories become.
Perhaps letting yourself sink fully into the melancholy while listening to this song might actually become the very push you need to face forward.

“Sorry to keep you waiting!” That’s the vibe the intro practically shouts, and it instantly puts you in the best mood! Sung by Aya Hirano, Minori Chihara, and Yuko Goto, it’s an outrageously upbeat dance tune.
This song is a long-awaited track born from a crowdfunding project celebrating the release of the light novel “The Theatrical Suzumiya Haruhi.” Realized in July 2025, the project stands as proof of the passionate devotion of fans around the world.
The lyrics bottle up a free-spirited way of life—like how the meaning of a meeting will follow later—that really gives you energy! If you want to start something new but can’t take the first step, it’ll make you think, “Act first, think later!”

This is a masterpiece by Kaori Kozai, created by an exceptionally illustrious team: music by Koji Tamaki and lyrics by Mitsuhiko Kuse (under the pen name Mutsuki Ichikawa).
Released in March 1993, the song won the 35th Japan Record Award.
The protagonist’s inexpressible, heartrending cry—wanting to go back but unable to, needing neither consolation nor excuses—reaches the listener’s heart through Kozai’s richly emotive vocals.
It’s a song that gently stays by your side when you’re carrying the pain of a hopeless love.
It may even make your chest tighten as memories of past romances come rushing back.
