Serene and sweet autumn evening lyricismUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
It’s a song that seems to turn the quiet, faintly sweet, sentimental air of an autumn dusk straight into sound.

You can almost see scenes that gently capture the tenderness we feel for the passing seasons and the fleeting beauty of a single moment.
This track is included on the acclaimed album MODE MOOD MODE, released in January 2018 toward the end of the Heisei era.
Though it has no tie-ins, its lyrical melody and Kosuke Saito’s crystalline vocals reveal the band’s delicate side.
Listen to it on your way home as the days grow shorter, or alone on a slightly chilly night when you want to sink into your thoughts, and it will slowly seep into your heart.
