A straightforward, honest love song that brings the ache and poignancy of heartbreak right to your chest.

Through real-life scenes—like the deserted park at Tawarayama and the sloping road where you can see the starry sky—the memories woven together vividly portray feelings for a precious person you can never meet again.

Released in May 2017 as a track on the album “Country Road,” this piece gently embraces an unforgettable love with warm lyrics that blend in the local Shimane dialect.

Its softly resonant melody offers quiet comfort to those who want to hold their one-sided love close, and to those who can’t quite put an end to a past romance.

A song that expresses the pain of heartbreak through the color white, it pierces deeply into the listener’s heart.

It deftly portrays the anguish of a breakup—the shocking confession made over the phone while driving down the highway at night, the frustration of being unable to put “I want to see you” into words.

Included on the mini-album “my,” released in December 2017, it drew attention in various ways, including use on TikTok and high praise from Nicole Fujita.

Its straightforward, powerful guitar sound and melody stir complex emotions while giving you the strength to face forward.

The lyrics, which empathize with those who have gone through similar experiences, are especially striking.
