Kenmochi Hidefumi describes a city filled with nostalgia, where peeling concrete and neon signs blur the line between past and present. The lyrics mention ‘a mystery like an ice cream that won’t melt,’ symbolizing a longing for something enduring amidst the sweltering heat. The artist questions if they’re still themselves in this repeating world.
