It portrays life as a long journey with ups and downs, asking what sustains us as we live, while delivering a message to keep moving forward.
It was also chosen as the official theme song for “Masters Koshien,” so many people probably know the chorus.
It seems perfect for everyone to sing out together at karaoke! The tempo isn’t fast, so you can sing it calmly, but be careful not to overuse your throat in the first verse.
Keep your eyebrows lifted the whole time, and try projecting your voice forward from between your brows; this helps your vocal cords resonate and makes it easier to sing comfortably.
Give it a try!
