The song “Ai no Katamari,” included as the B-side to the 13th single “Hey! Minna Genki-kai?”, was used in a Morinaga “DARS” commercial.

With lyrics by Tsuyoshi Domoto and composition by Koichi Domoto, it became a turning point for the group.

Overall, the vocal range is narrow and the key is low, but be careful with the melody in the chorus, which shifts between chest voice and falsetto and can easily cause pitch errors.

It’s a pop tune with sentimental lyrics you’ll want to savor as you sing—great to perform either solo or as a duo.
