It’s a very beautiful, mid-tempo, gentle track.
While Ikimonogakari is often associated with energetic songs featuring striking high vocals, a tender song like this is equally captivating.
Performing a piece like this well does require a fairly high level of vocal ability in many respects, but if you focus on enjoying it at karaoke, the melody doesn’t rise and fall too dramatically, so it’s relatively easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.
It’s perfectly fine to prioritize the vibe over strict accuracy!
