The chorus lyrics and melody are especially tear-jerking.

That’s enough already.Fuji Kaze
Singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze, who had been posting piano performance videos since childhood and drawing attention for his exceptional technique.
Released in December 2019, this track later became a core piece of his debut album, HELP EVER HURT NEVER.
It features a sound defined by a minimalist, hip-hop-influenced beat interwoven with gospel-style choruses.
The lyrics, which step away from entanglements like competition and the desire for approval to free the self, gently resonate with hearts weary of the daily clamor.
Rather than resignation, it’s a song that offers a positive sense of release, embracing everything and moving forward.
