By sampling video game sound effects, it creates a somewhat fantastical atmosphere.

Since her major debut in 1998, aiko has released one hit after another as one of the most popular female singer-songwriters, and she continues to lead the music scene even now in the 2020s.
Her songs—born from lyrics colored by her unique sense of language and chord progressions and melodic sensibilities unconstrained by music theory—resonate with listeners across generations, especially when it comes to love songs.
“Yakusoku” (Promise), included as the final track on her eighth major-label album “Himitsu,” released in 2008, is a bittersweet number that sings of saying goodbye to someone dear while promising to meet again someday.
The lyrics can be taken as a farewell to a friend from school days or a lover, but it also seems like a song that could move both sides when gifted to a cherished junior at the moment of graduation.
As you recall your happy memories, sing it as if speaking gently to them.
