This is a GUMI song released on March 13, right after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.

Hatsune Miku,” and its bouncy piano accompaniment creates a lively feel.
You can sense Ayase’s refined sense of balance in the piano’s exquisite presence—impactful enough to stand up to the catchy melody without getting in the way of the vocals.
