The title track from the third original album "Traces of Dreams" released on April 21, 1982. The first track on said1. Lyrics and composition: Takazo Murashita. Arrangement: Kimio Mizutani. The streetscape that appears in the song is Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, and the hill is Katsuyama, where Matsuyama Castle is located. This song can be considered a sequel to Takazo Murashita's "Ferry to Matsuyama." Matsuyama Castle, a place of Murashita's memories and the setting for this song, is a mountain castle built on Katsuyama, 132 meters above sea level, in the center of Matsuyama City. In the song, it is sung as if they climbed the stairs, but in reality, it seems that they used the lift above. Murashita, who rode the lift alone to the castle when the cherry blossoms began to bloom, must have climbed the stairs and seen the old Miyako town, and burned it into the back of his tear-stained eyelids. Tears fell like a rainbow, shining in the moonlight. Where were you that day? The weight of the love we lost. In the time it took to realize it, our hearts passed each other. The lyrics are incredibly beautiful and sad, and they are about the traces of dreams that never came true. The scene comes to mind naturally. The lyrics appeal to the listener in easy-to-understand words without using particularly difficult words or phrases. The bittersweet and sad memories of a moment in life that everyone seems to have. #TracesOfDreams #KomatsuNana
