Every spring, there are many graduates in Japan during the graduation wave. Buy this album in record stores, and of course, this song also has a very high on-demand rate in KTV.

Miyuki Nakajima, whom I often think of...
Miyuki Nakajima, who is always in my ears and beside me...
To her How does it feel? There was such a saying in "The Crying Soul" by Taiwanese poet Zeng Shumei. I just picked it up and used it - because... she said everything I wanted to say:
"I saw it by chance The Japanese TV series adapted from Kawabata Yasunari's novel, "The Dancer of Izu" or "Snow Country". I have completely forgotten the plot. I only remember that the country geisha played by Yuko Furotegawa is sick in bed and says to her visiting lover with infinite regret: "You Don't come see me anymore, I have no nice clothes to wear anymore...'
I really like this kind of poetic and pure confession that perhaps only women can understand so much, so I deliberately endure it. Which drama are you chasing? Which novel by Kawabata? Deliberately don’t know, just feel it. But over and over again, the most beautiful shock of listening to Nakajima Miyuki is worn away. Songs and reading her lyrics also gave me such a feeling of reluctance.
The few lines of lyrics that Miyuki came across at random floated to the palm of my hand like snowflakes and seemed to disappear in an instant. It was exciting. I want to cry. Miyuki Nakajima is obviously a woman and a creator with a "crying soul" inside.
Although there are so many singers who sing about love, Miyuki Nakajima. It seems to be particularly easy to arouse readers' voyeuristic desire, and people can't help but wonder: What kind of love is this woman talking about? Because her works have an honest quality that is indistinguishable from life and breathing, which is far different from excessive modification. The author. And her consistent silent attitude towards the outside world deepens this curiosity.
Miyuki Nakajima’s creation is not limited to ordinary pop music, her creative power is profound and profound. . Not only touching, but also worthy of respect. You will see it again and again in her works."

This song not only won Nakajima Yuki the championship of the popular music competition "Pop Con" that year and the grand prize of the 6th World Music Festival "Grand Prix", but also established her reputation in the Japanese music industry.
In October 1993, Miyuki Nakajima repackaged this song and released an album called "Time goes around". Not as a commemoration, but because "every spring when the graduation wave comes, this song is snapped up by many graduates. But for eighteen years, everyone has been listening to the same voice, which makes me feel a little unable to let go. Although this song was I compose all the songs myself, but there are always some unsatisfactory aspects in arrangement and recording. With this reinterpretation, I can give myself back my original look," Miyuki Nakajima said.
Since the release of her first single "Miss Jing's Lullaby" in 1975, she has released 36 singles and 27 albums, including 1981's The single "Evil Girl" (included in the later "Cold Water Fish" album) sold 830,000 copies.
