I was surprised to see the two members of Aming duetting on “Yume wo Akiramenai de,” but while their solo work is great, this has a pure and truly lovely feel too.

The two of them look effortlessly beautiful in white blouses and jeans, simple yet very elegant.

Being able to grow older like this is just the best, isn’t it?

Takako Okamura, who seems unmatched when it comes to writing songs about heroines whose so-called tsundere personalities keep them from finding happiness, delivers that same vibe here.

It’s a breakup song dripping with lingering regret, where the narrator tries to act tough but can’t help revealing how much she now regrets letting her partner go.

Although it was later included as an album track, it was originally released as the B-side to “Hagusō na Tenshi.” With its catchy melody, it’s fair to call this an early masterpiece.
