The song’s atmosphere is similar to the smash hit “Nagasaki wa Kyo mo Ame Datta,” but it’s a piece that truly showcases Kiyoshi Maekawa’s vocal prowess.
In particular, the opening phrase, starting with “Kore-kiri~,” has a tone only a professional can produce.
It masterfully conveys the feeling of wanting to end a clandestine love, yet being unable to do so.
