By—By My SeaBreezeMiho Nakayama
As summer draws to a close, you can’t help but sense the end of a romance approaching too… This is a song by Miho Nakayama that gently embraces that bittersweet feeling.
In contrast to the funky sound crafted by Toshinobu Kubota, the lyrics portray a protagonist who is certain the relationship is ending yet still can’t bring themselves to say “goodbye.” Vivid scenes—like the last moments spent by the sea or a ball veering off target and rolling away—spring to mind and tighten the chest.
