This is Ikimono-gakari’s “Until It Turns Into a Whistle.” It sings of the bittersweet feeling of being unable to forget memories of someone you once loved—at least until those memories turn into a mere whistle.

The expressive power is truly convincing and so wonderful, isn’t it? It’s also a song that’s played on Fuji TV’s show “It’s Refreshing! TV: Sukkiri Japan,” so many of you may have heard it.

Songs written and composed by the vocalist Kiyoe Yoshioka are reputed to really touch the heart.
