Love Affair to Remember

This is a tragic love song for adults. However, it is not pessimistic, but it is not full of hope either. People experience various events as they grow up, and it is said that adults tend to lose their innocence, but I think that romantic love is an exception. Rather, I even think that as we grow older, our hearts grow to be able to sense deep love.
The lyrics at the end of this song, "In our dreams, we meet, I whisper goodbye," seem to tell this story. It is a masterpiece that allows you to feel the trembling of the heart at that time, while maintaining moderation and feeling excited.
When you listen to the song while reading the lyrics, you can say that the "tranquility of just meeting," "silently drifting, shining nostalgia," and "a moment of peace that you are about to lose" are wonderfully expressive of the "waves" of the heart. In particular, "silently drifting, shining nostalgia" is a good example of expressing the "shine" inherent in the word "nostalgia" from a different angle. It is a world of poetry, expressing one phenomenon from multiple angles and in a different way.
Sai's words are the sounds of words that "sparkle" between the musical accompaniment, and are the "smell of words."
The melody is full of the scent of French chanson here and there.
The word "France" made me think of the minstrels who sang of love in a long, long time ago, lighting a warm candle in people's hearts.
Miki Hirano's piano playing is sometimes a modest connection of chords, and sometimes melodic, as if entwining with the song. The sound world has a passionate Italian flavor, but it also feels like the world of Schubert and Brahms.
Furthermore, Anna Chikushi's singing voice beautifully expresses the world of the lyrics and sings them resoundingly. I personally cannot help but be drawn into the emotion.
