I don't know

The song doesn't attempt to provide a "correct way" to process heartbreak or a roadmap for moving on. Instead, it gently embraces the reality of what has simply happened. With sentimental yet grounded lyricism, I Don't Know captures the lingering presence of love, the dull ache of separation, and the way someone becomes a memory that quietly lives on. The final line, "I hope you can't forget me," leaves a soft echo in the listener's own heart. [Song Commentary by Yayoi Hino (Vo./Gt.)] "There's nothing particularly good about dating a musician. But there is one clearly bad thing - you might end up in a song. I'm not the kind of artist who keeps those things private. I'm the type who turns them into painfully good songs. Writing music isn't something I can just do on command - it takes energy. But love and heartbreak, for me, are overwhelming forces that push me to write. I Don't Know is, as you can hear, a breakup song. After the split, I cried, stared endlessly at our unread LINE messages, cried again, and wandered the streets with a canned drink in hand. Then the chorus - 'Ai, donna? Ai, donna? I don't know' - just came to me with a melody. I ran home, grabbed my guitar, wrote it down, and named it then and there before falling asleep. I realized again: the drive to create comes from the need to leave something of myself behind. To not be forgotten. To be known. To etch it all into the world."
