Ketsumeishi ~Friend(s)~

It’s the fourth single by Ketsumeishi, released in 2002.

Although Ketsumeishi themselves aren’t the ones singing in this video, it’s sung for a friend who’s going through a tough time.

That feeling alone brings me to tears.

The lyrics are about reuniting with a friend after being apart and reflecting on life and loved ones.

Ketsumeishi is a male group, but I think these feelings resonate with women as well.

It’s a thoughtful, wonderful song I’d like to dedicate to a dear friend.
