This is a work by Rokudenashi, who began activities in 2021, delicately depicting the emotions of unrequited love.
The subtle shifts of a heart that can’t quite face the other person’s kindness, and the loneliness of being able only to watch them talk with someone else, leave a strong impression.
The vocals woven by Ninjin carry a warmth that feels like it gently heats the heart on a quiet winter night.
Written and composed by Hifumi, the song was released as a single in October 2021.
