spring song

We’d like to introduce a bittersweet yet warm ballad that feels as if it leapt straight out of a film.

The melody, which carries deep significance within the story, evokes a sense of hope—like believing that it will reach someone across partings and distance.

Written, composed, and produced by Seiji Kameda, the song was released in advance in February 2026 as an insert track for the film “The Last Song You Left Me.” As Ayane, Meru Nukumi delivers each and every word with care, drawing on expressive power honed over roughly a year and a half of lessons.

Also included on the soundtrack, it’s the kind of piece that brings the film’s emotion rushing back each time you listen.

This work offers a sense of connection with loved ones and the courage to step into the future.

As spring brings new beginnings, why not listen when you want to quietly face forward?
