A one-sided love song featuring lyrics from a woman’s perspective and Mosa-o’s gentle singing voice.

For karaoke, the range is relatively narrow and easy to sing, making it a song where you can focus on expressiveness.

The overall vocal range is E3 to A#4, which is comfortable to handle, and there isn’t much falsetto.

It’s recommended to sing clearly with a chest-voice focus.

There are occasional unique rhythms, so it’s important to thoroughly go over the melody line.

Also, the key modulates in the final chorus and the pitch goes up, so rather than forcing chest voice, skillfully switching to falsetto is a good tip for hitting the notes accurately!
