What was left behind was summer.

The Thing I Left Behind Was Summer.

Summer always seems to end before we even realize it.

The stone steps leading to a shrine, the lively morning glory market, the sound of wind chimes, a river glowing at sunset, lanterns at the summer festival, fireworks lighting up the night sky, and a single earbud left behind on the walk home.

These ten songs are a collection of small memories, carefully gathered from the quiet moments that make a summer unforgettable.

The joyful days, the bittersweet ones, the laughter we shared, and the feelings we never found the words to express-all of them continue to drift quietly through time. Yet somewhere deep inside us, the breeze, the scent, and the sounds of those days never truly disappear.

"The Thing I Left Behind Was Summer." is not an album about searching for something that was lost.

It is an album about remembering what we unknowingly left behind as we grew older.

May the sound of your own unforgettable summer continue to echo gently in your heart, long after the music has faded.
