This is Ikimonogakari’s seventh digital-only single, released in August 2020.
It was used as the theme song for TV Asahi’s Thursday drama “The Investigator of Unsolved Cases: Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Document Investigation Unit,” Season 2.
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!

A heartwarming song that gives courage to everyone taking a new step forward.

Ikimono-gakari is a duo known for their versatile musical style and numerous tie-ins.
Their song “Koe,” released in advance from their 10th major album, Maru, was written as a cheer anthem for ANYTEAM’s project, “#CheeringIsASportThatDeliversFeelings.” Its message—believe in what you’ve built so far and move forward into the future—will likely give courage to those turning twenty and stepping into adulthood.

Manga artist Yuuki Kikuchi serialized “A Crocodile Who Will Die in 100 Days” on Twitter for 100 days.
Everyone watched to see how it would end, and it became a huge topic.
It was a four-panel comic depicting ordinary, everyday life that set social media abuzz.
As a collaboration song with that work, Ikimono-gakari created and performed “Ikiru” (“To Live”).
It’s a moving song that makes you realize that the unremarkable daily life of “Wani-kun,” who ultimately died—an ordinary young person’s everyday routine—is not dull at all, but something precious.
