Ue o muite arukō

Ue o muite arukō
I look up while walking

Namida ga kobore nai youni
So that the tears do not fall

Omoidasu haruno hi
I remember the spring days

Hitoribotchi no yoru
But tonight I am all alone

And as he walks looking up, he sees above him, blurred by tears, the most beautiful lilac tree. He squints his eyes several times to see it more clearly.
Lush, white lilac blossoms under a bright blue sky. The air is filled with the creamy scent of lilac.

And while he stands and admires and takes a deep breath, a raindrop lands on the tip of his nose. The first of many.
Warm early summer rain moistens nature and allows all flowers and woods to unfold their scent.
Mineral-fresh air envelops him as he lowers his head slightly for the first time.
The sun continues to shine, creating a beautiful rainbow.

And as the raindrops replace the tears on his face, he realizes that there is actually no reason to be sad.

Kyū Sakamoto sends his regards. Such a beautiful text. And I... long for Naha. For some reason. Thank you!

Your wonderfully romantic lines almost make my poor heart melt! If this scent can do the same, then I already love it!

A beautiful, poetic sketch. Like something out of a manga. The brand should use this text as their advertising copy :) The scent is being tested.

It's like you accompanied me in the garden today. The scene is spot on, except for the missing rain. I don't know the perfume, but I'd love to get to know it now. Very beautifully written.

You wrote that beautifully. And yes, some perfumes do exactly that.
