Featured on their second album “Snow Labo.

S2,” the song “Boku to Kimi to” stands out with lyrics that evoke the connection between the group and their fans.

The rich ensemble centered on piano and strings further highlights Snow Man’s vocal prowess.

With its simple melody and relaxed tempo, it should be easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.

However, be careful with the occasional leaps in the melody, as they can make it easy to go off pitch.

The track was included as a B-side to the single “Secret Touch,” released in December 2021, and served as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “My Love Mix-Up!” As the second installment in the “Kimikare Trilogy,” continuing from the previous song “Kimi no Kareshi ni Naritai.,” it has been highly praised by fans.

It’s a recommended song for anyone who’s excited by a one-sided crush or wants to liven up a karaoke session.

“BOY” is a song with lyrics by drummer Kazuyoshi Aoki and music by Arashi Moritomo.

Judging from the lyrics, it seems Aoki had a baby boy; a father figure emerges who feels joy and gratitude and hopes his child will embrace big dreams and hopes.

Moritomo’s signature ballad style breathes life into it, giving rise to a new T-BOLAN track.

It might be a rare parent-and-child song for T-BOLAN.
