A classic song by Masayoshi Yamazaki released in 1997.

At the time of its release, it was used as the theme song for the film Moon and Cabbage, starring Yamazaki himself.

Although it doesn’t contain explicit references to winter, the acoustic guitar’s tones evoke both the season’s chill and its warmth.

It’s a song that conveys a bittersweet yet gentle love for someone dear who has grown distant.
