Hy's song '366 Nichi' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the lingering pain of a relationship that has ended but still haunts the heart. The lyrics poignantly capture the essence of a love that, despite its impossibility, remains a significant part of the narrator's life. The song opens with the acceptance of a love that, even though it cannot be rekindled, still holds a powerful grip on the narrator's emotions.

The song's narrative progresses to reveal the increasing difficulty of maintaining any form of connection with the loved one, as meetings become rare and promises become mere words. The narrator's yearning is palpable, with a wish for the loved one to reciprocate their feelings, even though they know it's a fleeting hope. This is encapsulated in the lines '叶わないもしないこの願い あなたがまた私を好きになる' (This wish that won't come true, that you will love me again).

The song concludes with a poignant acknowledgment of the loved one's lasting impact, 'あなたは私の中の 忘れられぬ人、すべて捧げた人' (You are the unforgettable person in me, the one I gave everything to).
