1992

Our lives are full of goodbyes,
and we make all kinds of choices.
When the precious memories we've kept deep in our hearts
quietly surface,
we feel kinder and warmer.
That's because they're surely still wonderful,
shining without fading.

I wanted to sing about the preciousness of people meeting each other,
the transience of passing each other by,
and a positive "goodbye."
I've created a song that I'll want to cherish for the rest of my life.

I wrote this song for a woman my age named Usamaru Manami.
