(To be clear, I won't be doing song ratings. It feels like something forced when I talk about music usually, just as bad as when someone asks me to list my top ten albums or whatever).

This is an evocative little piece. Very much puts me in mind of a relationship montage, with melancholy being a strong theme personally. I can look back at any of my relationships that have ended and pull up snapshots and mash them together for a distressing little slide show. The exchange at the four-minute mark is particularly painful. The way Lovewave's vocalist portrays that conversation is like the end of a very long conversation that has lasted months up to that final moment. There's something to be said for what's lost in translation--I don't speak the language. But I loved this enough I'd definitely be willing to branch out and see what else Lovewave has to offer. A good get.

May I introduce you to... Midori?
