■Kenshi Yonezu comment
The Continuation of Goodbye is a story that begins with the unfamiliar situation of “meeting a stranger who has inherited the heart of a deceased lover,” but even for those of us who live in a reality where such things rarely happen, we have never experienced such a situation. I feel like there’s something more important than that. I created this song while thinking of Saeko, who was wondering where she started from and where she was, and whether or not it was okay to close the distance. thank you.
