It feels like watching the bittersweet end of summer.

The piano tone is beautiful.

The lyrics, which recall summer days spent with someone dear, are steeped in nostalgia.

The sparkling piano and the deep timbre of the strings are truly stirring.

The animated music video by Ozu-san is wonderful as well.

I imagine there are quite a lot of people who love this kind of worldbuilding.

It makes you want to cherish the time you’re spending right now.
