It’s a mid-tempo song with a relaxed feel.

It also carries a slightly nostalgic atmosphere that brings back memories of my teenage years.

This song feels like it overturns everything the artist has released so far.

It leaves a strong impression with its deeply moving tone and lyrics, staying completely free of their usual sense of humor until the very end.

Pay attention to the lyrics that intertwine human growth and aging, as well as the literary choice of words.

This funky, cool track really showcases the breadth of Okazaki Taiiku’s talents.

But if you listen closely, all the lyrics are actually in Japanese (lol).

The punchy chorus lyrics make it even funnier.

It’s a song that only he could create—one that entertains listeners all the way through.

Since the lyrics sound like English, the MV displays them in large text, and I have to applaud that meticulous touch.

This one’s a joke track.

It’s a song about the importance of friendship.

Partway through, it turns into a back-and-forth between Okazaki Taiiku and a puppet on his hand, and there’s a scene where they go off the rails, spewing lines that pick a fight with every band in the world, but aside from that the lyrics are really good.

Unusually for Okazaki Taiiku, the guitar sound is brought to the forefront.

The song has a mellow tone with lyrics that carry a bittersweet mood.

However, bits of Okazaki Taiiku’s signature humor are woven throughout, and if you listen closely to the words, you can’t help but chuckle.
