Can I call it magic?NEW!Hirai Ken

It was written as the theme song for the Panasonic LUMIX GX7 Mark II commercial featuring Haruka Ayase and went on to become a long-running hit.

It’s a quiet, love-filled ballad where the acoustic guitar tones resonate with Ken Hirai’s vocals.

The overall vocal range of the song is F2–B4, and compared to other songs, the high notes aren’t unexpectedly that high, making it a range that seems singable in falsetto.

In fact, Ken Hirai sings it softly in falsetto to create a bittersweet mood, so it’s best to sing with the sensation of releasing a thin stream of sound from the top of your head.

For the low notes in the A section, be sure to raise your eyebrows and take care not to strain your throat.
