Released in February 2023, the song was used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible,” and drew attention as Hanazawa herself starred as the lead voice actor.

With its nostalgic, delicate atmosphere, this track is perfect for wedding videos or as background music for a dress-change entrance, creating a warm and blissful moment.
