LEGO BIG MORL is a three-piece band formed in 2006.

Hailing from Osaka, their unadorned, raw melodies balanced with the backing sound are seriously cool.

This track is included on their 2017 album “Shinzō no Ibasho” (Where the Heart Is).

If you express the strength of the melody and the bittersweet lyrics while overlaying them with your own heartbreak, it feels like you could sing an absolutely tear-jerking karaoke performance.

Although it sounds like it has a wide vocal range, it’s actually not that broad, so if you’re interested in this song, give it a try.
