This is a song that portrays bittersweet summer memories, woven from a delicate singing voice and melody.

Yorushika’s gentle music spins a narrative with the touch of a short story.

Scenes like summer shade, frozen treats, and the sound of the wind resonate in the heart, stirring a faint sense of melancholy.

Released in April 2020, this song was also chosen as the theme for the animated film “A Whisker Away,” and is included on the album “Plagiarism.” The piece carefully depicts shifting memories and emotions against a backdrop of summer landscapes, making it a track you’ll want to hear at the turn of the seasons from spring to summer.

With its warm vocals that quietly stay close to your heart, why not take a moment to look back on your cherished memories?
