A smash hit from 1981 written and composed by Yumi (Yuming).

In fact, Hitomi Ishikawa’s version is a cover—the original was by Seiko Miki.

It’s said to be based on Miki’s real-life experience.

From the luxurious intro, a wintry landscape somehow unfolds before your eyes.

The lyrics portray a woman’s complex psychology, and some even discuss it in terms of stalking, but I feel it’s simply the honest feelings of someone in love.

The mature atmosphere is striking, and perhaps this is how people gain experience.

Songs about unrequited love always stand by us in times of heartache.

A song that sings of a burning love, unable to contain the surge of emotion upon meeting that fated person who makes you think, “I don’t need anyone but you.” When you’re in love, you can’t help but think only about the one you like, getting so absorbed you lose sight of everything else, right? I want people who are in the very midst of those feelings right now to listen.

The sub-heavy low end feels great, and I’ve even heard people say it’s perfect for a nighttime drive.
