I’ve always liked you.Saitō Kazuyoshi

The CM, depicting a man and woman reunited at a class reunion, deepens the bittersweet yet nostalgic world the song evokes.
The lyrics, which confess a love that has never changed—shyly yet honestly—feel like a message blessing two people who have found each other again with time.
Precisely because of the past they share, their affection for the person before them grows stronger.
Such pure feelings seem to gently nudge the couple as they take a new step forward together in remarriage.

threadChris Hart
As the lyrics of this song say, the vertical threads and the horizontal threads overlap to create a single piece of cloth.
Once the threads have been misaligned, it may be difficult to repair, but if we weave it again, I’m sure a beautiful fabric will be made.
