While yearning to be loved, the wavering heart that hesitates to face its true feelings seeps in along with gentle piano melodies.
Released in February 2025 as the lead track from the album “Sigh,” this song reaches out to those who, even while carrying wounded, unsettled hearts, try to look ahead with cherished memories held close.

The vocals woven by Ninjin carry a warmth that feels like it gently heats the heart on a quiet winter night.
Written and composed by Hifumi, the song was released as a single in October 2021.
It’s a track that stands beside those troubled by love, offering empathy and comfort.
For anyone who holds a painful feeling they can’t confess to anyone—their love for someone dear—this song is meant for you.
