It portrays the unspoken feeling of “I love you” and the first-love memories that suddenly resurface with time, building them through small everyday scenes.
Included on the 1982 album “Sayonara Konnichiwa,” it drew attention at the time for featuring a star-studded lineup of creators, including Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi.
Its urbane sound, infused with a New Wave sensibility, is refreshingly restrained, never overly sentimental.
