■ Comment from Kitani Tatsuya
Maybe there really is nothing that you have to do even if it means giving up the happiness you have in your hands or the people you need to protect. But there are also moments in life when you are possessed by a self-righteous sense of morality and can’t stop running down the path you’ve decided on, and I think there is a certain righteousness to that. I felt that the pathetic feeling of being torn between two choices is also a beautiful human condition, so I wrote a song about it, and I hope you enjoy it.
■ Natori Comment
This is a beautiful and down-to-earth song about a person who has decided to protect what needs to be protected, even if love, kindness, and pain all turn into curses, no matter how many seasons pass. Please give it a listen.
