It’s a heart-wrenching medium-tempo ballad that was also used as an ending theme for Detective Conan.
The lyrics, written by vocalist Yua Kamino, delicately portray the feelings of yearning for someone precious you can’t meet, conveyed through her clear, translucent voice.
The title is said to contain a bittersweet yet romantic charm: if you place a photo of the person you love under your pillow, you can meet them in your dreams.
It captures the pure longing of someone who can’t forget the person they love and wishes, “Even if it’s only in a dream, I want to see you.” Anyone who’s had a similar experience will surely feel a deep resonance.

The track is included on their album “Ketsuno-Polis 13,” released in January 2024.
Why not give it a listen as you reminisce about the old days before meeting up with an old friend again?

The track was released digitally in October 2017 and later included on the single Bloom.
Its gentle sound, centered on piano and strings, offers a charming contrast to the drama’s cool atmosphere.
On nights when your heart feels a little tired, take the time to listen and be kind to yourself.

It’s Miyuki Nakajima’s 12th single, released in April 1982, and it reached No.
2 on the Oricon weekly chart.
The song powerfully conveys, over a tense melody, the clash between a swelling, forbidden longing and the desperate effort of reason to keep it in check.
It was first included on the acclaimed album “Miyuki Nakajima THE BEST.” When you’re tormented by a forbidden love and overwhelmed by helpless feelings, listening to it seems to gently stay by your side in that pain.

It is also a track that symbolizes the album’s overarching, weighty theme: “the emotional turbulence and resolve after 36 weeks of pregnancy.” From her deep, hushed voice, you can palpably feel the sense of loss and the yearning to atone.
When you listen to it on a night when you are burdened with immeasurable sorrow and want to quietly sort out your thoughts alone, you may experience a mysterious sensation—as if frozen emotions are slowly melting away with your tears.
