The song itself is on the shorter side at 3 minutes 19 seconds, making it easier to maintain focus and great for scoring.

On JOYSOUND, the “average score for December 2025” is in the 91-point range, and it’s very popular as a song that makes it easy to aim for a high score.

The tempo is fairly relaxed, so you can sing calmly and carefully, and it’s easy to keep an eye on the pitch bar.

There are spots with high notes, so if you keep an overall image of resonating in your head and sing lightly, the transitions to the high notes will be smoother.

Also, if you sing the A and B verses in a straightforward manner and then project your voice firmly in the chorus, you’ll create good contrast and it should help you earn extra points.
