The Day the Higurashi Cried

Singer-songwriter Kento Makino's second single, "The Day the Higurashi Cried/Time is Money."
This new single was written, composed, arranged, performed, recorded, and mixed by himself.
As I watched you smiling sadly on the other side of the railroad crossing, I was torn between two emotions: "I want to go" and "I don't want to go." As the train was about to cross in front of me, the answer I felt in my heart was, "Because I've lived..." When the barrier rose, I was alone.
