It was released as a single in 1996 and was used in a commercial for Myojo Charumera.

It’s a gentle, heartwarming ballad with lyrics about encouraging a friend who’s feeling down.

While there are no season-specific references, this song always comes to mind when I look up at the summer night sky.

Sunset of Beginnings

Saito Kazuyoshi’s signature style explodes here—an exquisite rock ballad.

There’s no music video; it’s a pharmaceutical company’s commercial, but that actually adds realism and makes it feel like a lovely MV.

The Beatles-esque melody and the strings are incredibly soothing.

It’s a supreme masterpiece that makes you want to watch the sunset and think, “I’ll do my best again tomorrow!”

It’s a song where Kazuyoshi Saito’s voice and lively guitar sound feel wonderfully pleasant.

The lyrics unfold a somewhat otherworldly, slightly surreal world.

Still, I love this breezy flow and his voice, and I listen to it often.

When I play this song while cleaning, the good tempo really helps me get things done.

I find the idea of “a world without love for a lone person” very intriguing.

Man, that’s normal.Saitō Kazuyoshi

The fierce riffs are incredibly cool, and the instrumentation feels almost like Western rock.

Its intensity rages as if it were the very sound of male desire.

Saito Kazuyoshi has many different colors, but this song overflows with spirit to the point that it seems to showcase his rock side more than any other.
