They’re carefully preserving the original song, expressing it a bit more gently without breaking the original image.

It made me feel just how influential the song “366 Days” itself is.

There are things you mustn’t break, things you can’t break, things you have to cherish—and it’s wonderful that they perform with that understanding.

Highly recommended performance.

It’s a male vocal, but the vocalist has a beautiful, clear high tone.

I felt this version of “366 Days” is relaxed and easy to listen to.

For calm listening, Soraru’s vocals might be more comfortable.

In any case, those high notes are truly beautiful.

When it comes to cover song vocalists, it has to be Chris Hart.

He delivers a stunning performance of this difficult song, “366 Days.” The gentleness and sadness that come through in his high notes are remarkable.

Even without visuals, different images from the original come to mind—that’s how good he is.

It’s a cover that goes beyond karaoke, and I highly recommend this rendition.
