According to Saito, the song is mellow and with a positive vibe. The song was originally released as the hidden track on his EP released in 2019, my blue vacation.
Our take on the song, in its demo state, was that:
Saito’s fans continue to be spoiled with hidden tracks and this release is no exception. The alt-rocker left an epilogue track – of name unknown – to his fans, a track with a lo-fi sound in which the piano echoes in emptiness and Soma Saito‘s delicate vocals paint a beautiful yet tragic image. This is the end of the journey that started with memento (remember that initial road trip vibe?), ingenious way to wrap up this album and give it a satisfying final chapter.
