The song “Hoseki” included on the 1st album “Sketch.” Its lyrics, which evoke a new departure, together with the lyrical ensemble, create a sentimental yet positive atmosphere.

The finely rising and falling melody is tricky and easy to go off pitch, but since the range isn’t wide and there aren’t any large interval leaps, it’s a good one to try at karaoke if you sing it calmly.

If you’re comfortable with the singing itself, be mindful of dynamics as well—this is an emotional number.
