This is Ikimono-gakari’s 18th single, released in May 2010.
It was reportedly written as the theme song for the first half of NHK’s 2010 morning drama series Gegege no Nyobo.
The piece has a slightly ballad-like feel and has been crafted into a very gentle and beautiful song.
Perhaps because it expresses a “tender feeling,” the vocal melody is also very straightforward and beautiful, making it quite easy to sing—especially for many women choosing it at karaoke.
If you try singing by placing the resonance toward the upper palate inside your mouth, you’ll likely get a brighter, sparkling tone with rich high overtones similar to the original singer’s.
