With its simple title “Missing,” anyone who sees it will likely think, “What’s missing?” and hit play.

Then, from the very first line, they’ll take a tremendous hit.

This song contains elements that look at wacci’s hit “Betsu no Hito no Kanojo ni Natta yo” from another angle.

It gently sings of that painful, heartrending feeling: “I broke up with my lover and started seeing someone new, but I just can’t help remembering.” And even while holding onto those feelings, it’s also a song of strong resolve—of deciding to move forward.

It’s a track I especially want people struggling with love to hear.

Various rock bands have been featured in Honda Cars’ fiscal-year-end sale commercials over the years, and the 2022 commercial used a song by wacci.

The warm tone of vocalist Yohei Hashiguchi’s voice—one of the band’s key charms—really stands out in this track as well.

The title “Ink” refers to the ink used when writing a letter, and the lyrics are filled with lingering feelings for a former lover.

Although the lyrical content is very heartrending, the song is memorable for its imagery that somehow evokes the feeling of spring.
