The Sash I Untied
Don't leave me.
I screamed those words
inside my heart,
but I couldn't say them out loud.
One step closer,
and I was afraid you'd hate me.
One step away,
and we'd become strangers.
I tied my obi again,
hid my tears in my sleeve,
and watched you walk away.
I only knew how to be strong,
even when my heart was breaking.
And in the end,
I chose to say-
"Even so...
I want to be the woman who waits."
I may learn how to pretend
I've forgotten you,
but I will never truly forget.
A heartbreaking Japanese enka song
about love, pride,
regret, and the woman left behind.
Retro Neko is a Japanese enka artist who sings with deep emotion and tenderness. Blending the nostalgic soul of Showa-era enka with modern sound and AI expression, Retro Neko delivers songs of forbidden love, heartbreak, and unspoken feelings.
