When you listen to good music, the comfort of the sound might remain in your mind. Such sound is yoin, that is, the remains of the sound. When you say yoin, it doesn’t have to be sound. You can use this word for atmosphere you enjoy because the in of yoin means a tone or atmosphere. Yoin is something your mind can be replete with. We therefore say, “yoin ni hitaru” to mean that our mind is replete with remaining enjoyable atmosphere. Hitaru means being immersed in something. You can see these phrases in Japanese -> here.
