Children naturally comes to mind.
“Seesaw Game: Brave Love Song,” released on August 10, 1995, is one of their major hits and achieved million-seller status.
There’s an anecdote that during the demo stage, Sakurai had already completed most of the overall structure; up until this song, their style had been to co-produce with Kobayashi.
The stable, beautiful melody line is truly exceptional, and the dramatic development is masterful.
