Christmas song back number

This is a poignant song about the feelings that people without a partner inevitably experience during the Christmas season.

As we grow older, changes in work and life make the number of times we want to see someone and the number of times we can actually meet fail to line up, and that frustration is beautifully expressed.

The inner conflict that anyone in love has felt makes it heartbreaking to listen to.

RADWIMPS – Futari-goto [Official Music Video]

Futarigoto RADWIMPS

It’s quite thought-provoking, as it seems to be telling the protagonist—whose parents are about to divorce—something like, “Even with divorce as the backdrop, I’ll protect you properly, and I’ll keep loving you.” I had a hard time fully grasping the deeper layers of the lyrics.

NAOHY

The lyrics are easy to understand and hit you directly, so it’s very easy to listen to.

It expresses the sadness of breaking up with a lover just as it is, so I think many girls can relate.

It’s so heartrending that it’s the kind of song you especially want to listen to in winter.
