This was also the theme song for a hugely popular romance film.

Aragaki Yui’s relaxed voice makes it very easy to listen to.

It’s an easy song to sing and especially recommended for girls.

Your smile

Your Smile (ON THE ROAD 2022 LIVE at Budokan)

It’s a love song filled with tenderness and poignancy, looking back on the memories built up with a cherished person.

The way it tries to somehow avoid a sad ending when the two are about to grow apart conveys the strength of its feelings.

The warm, gently unfolding sound and the softly conversational vocals layered together express single-hearted devotion.

Singing slowly and relaxed, as if delivering the words straight and true, is a key point in crafting the song’s world.

A more effortless, unforced singing style may better convey the emotions embedded in the song.
