Many listeners may find themselves overlaying their own memories onto the mature love story depicted over the course of a year.
The glittering arrangement perfectly matches the wintry atmosphere and makes it ideal BGM for a nighttime drive.

This is a summer-infused ballad included on the 5th album “ANTENNA,” released on July 5, 2023.
The lyrics are characterized by reflections on the bittersweetness of youth and memories, and from August 2024 it has been used as the brand commercial song for Asahi Kasei’s urban condominium ATLAS.
Toward the latter half, Omori’s high notes build in intensity, but overall the song maintains a calm atmosphere and a not-too-high range, so you should be able to sing it in a relaxed state.
Whatever song you sing, try to be mindful—like Omori—of lifting your eyebrows firmly so you can rise cleanly into the high notes!

Compared to Akira Ikuma’s original version, this one is faster and has a stronger sense of drive, so it might be better for those who want to sing with power.
That said, it’s not just about singing loudly—aim to increase your volume by resonating through your body! Try placing a hand on your chest and sing while feeling the resonance.

Since it’s always the main melody on both sides, once you memorize the tune, you can sing with confidence.
