A heartbreaking breakup song by aiko that has earned overwhelming support from fans as a “hidden gem” and a song they wish she’d perform live more often.

It portrays the lonely state of a woman who senses her lover’s change of heart, agonizes over what she should do, and ultimately decides to part ways.

Like the female protagonist of “Kondo made wa,” it would be wonderful if, in the end, we could accept our own realization and make a positive choice.
