AldebaranAI5rank/position

This is a ballad written and composed by Naotaro Moriyama, used as the theme song for NHK’s 2021 morning drama series “Come Come Everybody.” It makes full use of AI’s signature powerful chest voice, which underscores the song’s message.
It starts with a calm verse (A-melo) and gradually builds toward the chorus, conveying emotional shifts while maintaining the resonance of the natural voice.
Although the chorus is sung with a slightly airy delivery, the chest-voice quality strengthens toward the latter half, so it seems best to sing while keeping a sense of chest resonance throughout.
To DadAI6rank/position

When times are tough, try listening to it while thinking of your dear friends.
