わき役でいいから (Remember Me / Wakiyaku de Ii Kara)

Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a poignant picture of a past relationship fading into memory, set against the backdrop of a changing urban landscape. The opening lines immediately establish a sense of impending separation, with a "squall" about to sweep through and a view of "rainbow and sunset glow" from the lover's office, suggesting a beautiful but distant scene. The narrator recalls a time when they were close enough to "just call and go see" each other, contrasting it with the present where a bus "disappears into smoke" towards a "nostalgic town," emphasizing the growing distance and the ephemeral nature of their connection.
