We all have those memories from our youth—walking past flowers by the roadside without even knowing their names, feelings we never quite managed to express.

Hinatazaka46’s new work sets those unfinished emotions and the moment of graduation—one chapter ending—against a beautiful mid-tempo melody.

It’s the first original song for the 5th generation, included on the single “Love yourself!” released in May 2025.

With the center Aimi Ono and the other members delivering raw, wistful vocals, the song gently wraps around those wordless feelings deep in your heart.

Its blue-themed visual world also drew attention.

It’s a song that will stay close to you when you want to pause in the season of farewells and look back, or when you need courage to take a new step forward.
