This song, which was used as the theme for the drama “A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love,” was released in 2019 and is said to depict the situation of not hearing from the person you have a crush on on your own birthday.

It’s a sad song, yet somehow it’s encouraging—that contrast is interesting, isn’t it? Theme songs from dramas tend to leave a deep impression on people’s hearts along with the story itself.
