Fumiya Fujii’s sweet, gentle singing voice and the tender, caring breakup lyrics make my heart ache in a good way.

Even when apart, they believe their hearts are still connected, and if the two are destined to be linked no matter the distance, there’s hope they’ll meet again.

It’s a song that isn’t just sad, but also filled with hope.
