A groovy, catchy pop song that celebrates the beauty of friendships that never change with time.
Blending Shingo Kubota’s sophisticated arrangement with imase’s light, breezy vocals, this piece gently sings about the awkward small talk of seeing an old friend after a long time, the kind of bond that lets you remain innocently childlike no matter how many years pass, and the precious ties that last a lifetime.
Released in February 2025 as the theme song for the collaborative project “Everyone’s Concert” by the live communication app Pococha and Yamaha Corporation, it also features an epic special video created with over 120 performers alongside imase.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you reunite with a best friend after a while or when you’re looking back on memories with cherished companions.
