This is a song written and composed by Motohiro Hata for FM802’s spring tradition, the ACCESS! campaign, in 2013.

The song “ringo” by Motohiro Hata and Spitz’s vocalist, Masamune Kusano.

Since this piece features Masamune Kusano, many listeners may find the overall key to be on the higher side.

While the pitch is indeed high, the overall vocal range is not particularly wide.

Therefore, if you set it to an appropriate key, it should be singable for anyone.

The harmony parts appear in several places, singing lines above the lead vocal.

For that reason, the harmony singer should be mindful not to make their volume too loud.
