The song portrays a delicate love swaying between ideal and reality.
It evokes a nostalgic, slightly bittersweet feeling, like looking at a faded photograph.
Because Nanba herself wrote the lyrics for the first time, the sincerity of her feelings may come through all the more directly.

While the song has a bright, poppy feel, there’s a certain melancholy to it.
As summer draws to a close, it tells of the bittersweet change of heart as a loved one’s feelings drift away.
In contrast to the light, upbeat sound, the emotions of a woman watching her lover slip away cut right to the heart.
Takeuchi’s gentle, enveloping vocals only serve to highlight the loneliness in the lyrics.
Thanks to this hit, the song won the New Artist Award at the 21st Japan Record Awards and was also included on the acclaimed album “LOVE SONGS.” On a long autumn night, with a slight chill in the air, give it a listen and pay attention to the story-like lyrics as they unfold.

The lyrics by vocalist Mayumi Sudo and the light, heart-lifting pop melody crafted by Yasuhiko Warita together create a lovely celebratory mood.
Released as a single in February 1995, the song was also beloved at the time as the ending theme for the popular TBS program “Doubutsu Kisou Tengai!” It’s perfect for when you want to send a message that’s not clichéd yet still heartwarming.
