Goodbye, my beloved.Hana＊Hana

Hana*Hana “Goodbye, My Beloved”

This song can be called a signature piece by Hana*Hana, one that straightforwardly expresses the sorrow of parting from someone dear.

It is said to be based on member Izumi Kojima’s memories, depicting her feelings for her grandfather who passed away when she was sixteen.

Centered on the piano, the sound emphasizes a sense of poignancy and sadness; as the strings gradually join, the sweeping development conveys an emotion that can no longer be contained.

With content that brings the magnitude of love and the magnitude of grief at the same time, the piece also conveys a strong resolve to keep cherishing those feelings even after the farewell.
