The relaxed tempo is calming, yet there’s a touch of tension, and it’s often performed in many different styles.

From the collaboration album “VXV,” the song with Tamio Okuda is “The Answer Is Maybe.” With the legendary hitmaker Tamio Okuda involved, it features a more pop-oriented, beautifully melodic sound.
While it has a different vibe from OKAMOTO’S usual style, this kind of track is captivating as well.
