The wistful tone of the electric piano and Koki’s crystal-clear vocals set the heart ablaze—what a wonderful medium-tempo ballad! “Saigo no Hanabi,” released in 2024 by the guitar-less three-piece band Kokorashika, born from a high school light music club, is a milestone track that marked the beginning of their brilliant career.

The worldview that overlays the fleeting glow of fireworks blooming and vanishing in the night sky with time that can never return and the couple’s frustrating relationship is deeply emotional and irresistibly immersive.

Within Hiroaki Yokoyama’s dramatic arrangement, the piano’s beautiful melody shines especially bright.

If you try performing this song with just piano and vocals, the beauty of the melody might stand out even more.
