Every time the spring breeze blows, past memories come rushing back…

Yuzu’s songs delicately portray such bittersweet emotions.

It begins with a scene of remembering a lover on a rainy day, then shifts to memories vividly revived by the spring breeze.

It’s more than a simple heartbreak song; it can be seen as a piece that symbolizes the journey of life.

Released in March 2007, this work gains an even grander and more moving atmosphere with Taro Hakase’s violin.

It’s a recommended track for those about to take a new step with the arrival of spring, or for anyone striving to walk forward while holding dear memories close to their heart.
