Written and composed by Miyuki Nakajima, this song captures the unique sense of helplessness that comes with the season of partings.

As graduation time approaches, it becomes one of those songs you can’t help but want to hear—a classic filled with scenes of aching unrequited love and farewell.

In contrast to the cheerful air of spring, the lyrics evoke a world where only the heart is left behind, vividly expressed through Yoshie Kashiwabara’s delicate vocals.

Released as a single in January 1983, it became one of her signature works and led to her first appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen that same year.

The album of the same title, “Haru nanoni,” also drew attention as a collection of Miyuki Nakajima’s works and received major acclaim, including the Gold Prize at the 25th Japan Record Awards.

It’s a standard number that will resonate not only with those who feel a pang at words like “the second button of a school uniform,” but also with anyone currently carrying feelings they can’t quite express.

Speaking of Yoshie Kashiwabara, “Haru nanoni” and “Hello Goodbye” are famous.

At a time when many idols were singing upbeat pop songs, her hidden gem is “Camouflage,” written and composed by Miyuki Nakajima—a mellow, sentimental tune she delivered with a vocal prowess uncommon for idols.

Yoshie Kashiwabara wasn’t flashy, but her calm presence made her popular.

Watching “Hello Goodbye” again as she’s grown older, you notice a kind of charm you don’t find in idols from the Heisei era onward.

Try singing it gently; I think you’ll be able to convey a composed, tranquil mood.
