Singer-songwriter Angela Aki—recognizable by her trademark glasses—releases this major-label debut single, sung in her signature piano-and-vocals style.

Because it wasn’t tied to any media, it initially received only modest attention in her home prefecture of Tokushima, but her appearance on NHK’s “Pop Jam” propelled it to nationwide recognition.

Just hearing the piano in the intro is enough to calm the heart.

It’s a masterpiece to savor slowly while letting your thoughts drift to your hometown.
