Released in 2009, the song was used as the theme for the Bee TV drama “Sweet Room.” The lyrics, written from a male perspective, portray his thoughts about his ex-girlfriend, but the inability to let go and searching for traces of a past love is something many people—regardless of gender—can relate to.

The rock band Shytone, which rose to prominence after a viral hit on social media, released a signature track in April 2023 that sings of a man’s searing emotions after a breakup.
Unable to accept parting from someone he loved deeply, he longs for an impossible reunion; the loneliness of his lover’s traces fading from everyday life is expressed through vocalist So Sasaki’s superb word choices—so moving you might be brought to tears.
The song is also known for surpassing 100 million total streams in November 2023 and is included on the album “Hors d’œuvre.” Why not entrust your heart to its somehow comforting melody that stirs up those bittersweet feelings?

It’s a love that has ended, yet the unresolved emotions that you just can’t forget feel so real they make your chest ache.
Still, beyond the sadness and pain, it also captures the feeling of wanting to take pride in the way you’ve grown because you were able to fall in love with him, and that resonates deeply.
