Farewell still resides in my heart.

Centered around Izumi Sakai, who passed away suddenly in 2007, ZARD was a music unit that enjoyed particularly high popularity and recognition among Being-affiliated artists who dominated the J-POP scene in the 1990s.

This is their 16th single.

Used as the theme song for the film “Reiko Shiratori Desu!” (My Reiko Is Better!), the track creates a poignant atmosphere through the contrast between its transparent vocals and wistful melody.

Its message—telling oneself that while it can’t be forgotten now, someday it will come to an end within—portrays the delicate yet strong psychology of a woman.

A gem of a heartbreak song whose refreshing feel is tinged with melancholy, perfect for coloring long autumn nights.
