A song where miwa portrays friendship in down-to-earth words: memories of laughing together, the bittersweet thought that you might drift apart someday, and still wanting to say “I like you” and “thank you.” It’s included on her first album, guitarissimo, released in April 2011, which debuted at No.

From the intro, it has a cute vibe and a refreshing feel.

The balance between English and Japanese in the lyrics, as well as between chest voice and falsetto, is pleasant.
