“Utsusemi” is a song with lyrics written by Yo Hitoto.

Utsusemi refers to a cicada’s shed shell—does it suggest that the time spent with a loved one was in summer? Or is it using utsusemi to describe parting ways without ever learning the truth? It’s a song that really stirs the imagination in many ways.

Inspired by that familiar game from summer night stalls, this classic by Yo Hitoto beautifully captures the passing of the seasons, fleeting feelings of love, and a touch of melancholy nostalgia.

Beginning with a quiet piano melody that gradually shifts into a seductive R&B vibe, the sound seems to mirror the loneliness that follows a summer festival.

The choice of words and rhythmic flow evoke scenes like lights shimmering on the water’s surface.

Released in July 2003 as Hitoto’s third single, the song reached No.

13 on the Oricon weekly chart.

That same month, a special live show for purchasers, “Sarasaraiya,” was held at Tokyo Kinema Club—an unforgettable memory for fans.

It’s also included on the album “Hitotoso.” This is a song you’ll want to hear at summer’s end, when you’re in the mood to savor a touch of bittersweet afterglow or the quiet that settles in after lively days.
