Tetote with GReeeeNwhiteeeen

Since it’s written from a girl’s perspective, I’m sure it was girls who felt that poignant ache as a memory of their youth (lol).
Back in our school days, whether it was unrequited love or not was more important than studying! If it was a song you listened to while laughing and crying with your friends, you’ll never forget it.
I definitely recommend it to anyone struggling with those feelings right now.
The cute voice also really sticks in your ears.
tenohira (palm of the hand)wowaka

Wowaka, a Vocaloid producer who was active as the frontman of Hitorie.
His second song “Tenohira,” released during the period when he worked under the name Genzitsu Touhi-P, is memorable for its intro featuring a spacious piano sound and a psychedelic guitar tone.
The melody is complex with many leaps in pitch, but since the tempo is relaxed, it might be easier to try at karaoke.
By all means, immerse yourself in wowaka’s world as you sing.
