Its lyrics, which portray the grandeur and sanctity of the great outdoors, resonate deeply together with the group’s crystal-clear choral work.
It’s a mystical track whose majestic ensemble, featuring a richly layered piano sound, is nothing short of breathtaking.

(RE)PLAYMiura Daichi
This is the 20th single by singer-songwriter Daichi Miura, whose dance skills and expressive power have earned him the nickname “Japan’s Michael Jackson.” Written as the theme song for the world breakdancing championship Red Bull BC One World Final 2016, it’s a cool number featuring a groovy arrangement and soulful melody.
The difficulty is high because each member has a solo dance part, but that’s exactly why, if you can nail it perfectly in a party-performance setting, you’ll draw a lot of attention.
An emotional dance tune with sharp, captivating performance.
