An Unforgettable June (feat. AKITO) GUMI & Keitaro Kikuchi

Last June, the relationship between the two of us until then merely "friends" melted away in an instant. We had unconsciously maintained a "comfortable distance," convinced that even an accidental touch was something forbidden; then, a small, unexpected incident occurred. The moment another man touched her so naturally, I was painfully confronted with my own powerlessness. It was that very sense of powerlessness that drove me to act. When I finally poured out the feelings I could no longer hide, she nodded quietly. From that point on, our romance swept us up like a rushing current. We chose this path together, fully aware that it was a love that could never be blessed. The harbor and streets of Yokosuka; the exotic, atmospheric scenery of Yokohama. Mindful of prying eyes, we would hold hands or lean against each other only when no one was looking_those moments and places are still seared into my heart. It was sweet. It was bittersweet. It was somehow fleeting. I knew this love might be destined to last only a moment. Yet, it possessed a special hue_one that can only be experienced at the start of summer. And now, a year has passed. We are no longer by each other's side. And yet, when June arrives, memories of that time come flooding back with vivid clarity. Feelings that cling like mist. Her profile, surfacing like a phantom. A strange, mingled blend of pain and happiness. This song is not merely about looking back nostalgically at that "June"the turning point of my destiny. Rather, it is a song that quietly acknowledges how that June fundamentally altered my outlook on life. It is not about being unable to forget; it is about carrying the memory within me as I live on. I sang with that resolve, letting it ride upon the June breeze.
