BEGIN / Longing for you

Known as the debut single of the rock band BEGIN, this song is a renowned ballad featuring Higa Eisho’s heartrending yet beautiful vocals.

In the lyrics, a man who has experienced a breakup pours out his lingering attachment and regrets toward his former partner.

Men who have their own memories of heartbreak—those moments when you still think, “If only I had done things differently back then…”—may find themselves deeply moved, perhaps even shedding a tear.

I encourage you to read the lyrics and listen while reflecting on your own experiences and memories.
