This is a work by Miyuki Nakajima that portrays the resolve to sever ties with the place one ought to return to and to live in the place one stands now.
Watching the last train bound for her hometown depart, the protagonist deliberately chooses not to go back—an image that overlaps with the loneliness and determination of someone breaking away from their past life to walk a new path alone.
The piece was included on the acclaimed 1977 June release “A-RI-GA-TO-U” and is also widely known as the B-side to the smash single “Wakare Uta.” It has been cherished as a song that colors the world of dramas crafted by So Kuramoto as well.

The song is included on the album “Su.” released in June 2011.
Remarkably, Abe wrote it during her high school years, and the pure, youthful cry of the heart resonates with raw intensity.

Its gut-wrenching lyrics, paradoxically, will gently wrap your loneliness in warmth.
